bj,
the gear was changed about a year ago... but i'll give it a check. i intend to give the cable a good greasin' also before i do anything w/the speedometer.

but back to the original question: what's invloved in a speedometer head replacement? is it a diy job? are there "calibration" issues i need to know about?
