John Carson Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I am a newly. On my 1970 Tr6 my speedometer is dead. No indicator, no movement of mileage. Do I need to simply replace the Cable. If so, give me some instruction, please. thanks, John C Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john.r.davies Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 The best instruction, John, is to get yourself a Workshop Manual! Not that anyone here isn't glad to offer advice, but being able to look up the procedure for anything needed on the car, and see well drawn diagrams to guide you, makes for great satisfaction when you successfully achieve the desired outcome! The well-known publisher Brooklands Books do a faithful reproduction of the original "Brown Bible" and I recommend it! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Triumph-TR6-Repair-Operation-Manual/dp/1869826132/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=triumph+tr6+workshop+manual&qid=1594134864&s=books&sr=1-1 But just for you, here's page 88.30.01 "Speedometer cable - Complete. (Non-overdrive models)" WSM speedo cable replacement.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 I’d check the angle drive is operating before any outlay on a cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Afternnon John, and welcome to our forum. I have taken the opportunity to alter your title to one that more accurately describes the problem. When the answer comes, it is easier for others conducting searchs in the future. Cheers, John.

ntc Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Simple just undo the cable from the speedo and pull the inner out you will then find out if it is broken, if ok then check the angle drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a paper copy years ago and it's covered in handwritten notes detailing my actual learnings as I did each job using it. In the meantime you can get an electronic copy here: https://app.box.com/s/3458383708b0fb05d75f Quote Link to post Share on other sites
