Do you need an Angle drive for J Type overdrive ?


Recommended Posts

Ok, just in case you havent seen my speedo head seize up (its off to JDO) and as a consequence the angle drive from the gearbox broke.

 

I was looking at getting a replacement then saw the posts saying you dont need an angle drive for a J type overdrive box, just connect the speedo cable direcly.

 

Just as a double check had a work with a TR Specialists and they said you should have one.......so now I'm not sure.

 

Obviously if I can avoid having one so much the better as they are a PITA

If you can fit a cable direct without a sharp bend, possibly by re-routing or with a longer cable then you should give it a try, but I think you might find it is too close to the chassis rail.

Jerry, thanks. Couldn't get the cable on so bought the angle drive.Happily tho got it and cable all connected up from underneath car so didn't have to remove gearbox tunnel, h frame etc...result and been for a spin all working. John at JDO instruments did a great job in double quick time, very professional so to be commended and recommended.
