Speedo Question

Hey guys;

Bought my car with the speedo inoperative (i assume it's the cable needing replacement) ... I also note the meter used to calculate trip distances doesn't work either... it reads 00000 constantly... would that be cuz the speedo doesnt work..?

yes both is driven by the speedo cable.. it's rare that they go bad.. pull the cable from the tranny side and check if the gears are stripped.. and it's also known that the squared plastic needle that drives it breaks sometimes check @ tranny side and guage side.
