Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / July 2005speedo primera (M Reg approx reg on 1994ish)
Hi all An older friend asked me to check his speedo on his Primera - I unscrewed at the gearbox end - and turned the inner cable, the speedo head didn't budge. I'm not fully convinced the heads gone yet. I tried to pulled the inner cable through at the gearbox end but have a feeling it has to come through the speedo head side - anyway I'm looking for advice on my next move. Also how do I prove the gearbox end is OK? Bill "> I'm not fully convinced the heads gone yet.

Yes you have to remove the instrument cluster to withdraw the inner cable but before you withdraw it making sure that is firmly attached at the gearbox end, drive the car forward and the instrument end should revolve.

Jack up the drive wheels securely and use the engine to turn the back wheels in say 2nd or 3rd gear and you should be able to see the speedo drive turn. The easiest way however is to do this at the instrument head end. However if there is something wrong at the gearbox end you can most likely feel it with just the inner cable poked into the gearbox. Either the gear has gone or the inside square of the gearbox gear is rounded off. The ones I have seen are a plastic worm gear and were replaceable All speedo inner cables that I have ever seen have to be pulled out from the speedo and. The inner has a collar at the speedo end to prevent the inner sliding down the outer cable.towards the gearbox end Mark > Easiest way to check the speedo drive is to pull the cable off the head. > Cable is most likely/ [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > Bill |
