<VV> Speedo pain

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Thanks -- I am pretty sure the rear is OK as the odo is spot-on (I 
drive 3 miles my GPS and my odo turns 3 miles).  But, your info is 
very helpful.  I think that perhaps it passes through the gear first 
and then insert into the speedo ... which means I could have a cable 
problem.  I am get a known good used cable to try before I go through 
the enormous pain of swapping the speedo (I hate that job).  Eric
