How do you replace a speedometer cable on a 1984 Yamaha virago xv1000
You will have to remove the instrument cluster to gain access. Clean the cable very good and then lubricate it with white grease.
call the person you got the car from they ripped you off. fiero's were only made from 1984-1988 so if you have a 1994 someone took you for a rideAnswerand there isn't a speed cable. its electronic. there is a speed sencer that goes to the tranny that a wire hooks too. not that hard to replace.
undo the speedometer cable from the transfer case, undo the 10mm bolt and metal retainer. simply pull on the protruding threads from where you unscrewed the cable. should be easy.
You have to find out what's wrong with it first If the odometer is working then the speedometer "head" needs repair. This requires some disassembly to get the speedometer out of the dash. If the odometer is not working it is most likely the inner cable to the transmission. Take the cable loose from the transmission and remove the gear. Check the gear for broken teeth and a worn out square hole where the cable fits into it. Try to pull the inner cable out by hand or a little help with pliers. If it is broken it will come out. There is a clamped end and stop ring at the speedometer end that will keep that end of the cable in the sheath. There is a possibility that the clamp has come loose at that end also. It would help to remove both ends so you can turn the cable at one end and have someone check the other end for turning also. An inner cable can be replaced. Sometimes a sheath that old will have rust damage and need replacement also. Put some speedometer cable lubricant on the cable while you are working on it and if you replace it.
this isn't a question.
Speedometer cable isn't on the engine. It runs off the transmission. Rick I'm a retired ASE Master/L-1 Technician. I still keep current with the latest automotive technology. Visit my blog for cool articles and TSB's: http://free-auto-repair-advice.blogspot.com
