Hey ya'll, Hope you can help me with a speedo Gear and Governor question.
New owner here, I can't tell you how useful this information is on this
list and facebook. I'll be driving home a 26 foot 77 for about 800 miles
next weekend. I've watched the video, read the new owner checklists,
blacklist, and I am about as prepared as I can afford to be right now, but
this one seems easily avoided so I wanted to sound it out with the crew
here.
As i understand it, the plastic governor gear can strip when speedo or
speedo cable friction becomes too great and jams or otherwise breaks
causing an inability to shift gears up from 1st.
Is there any harm in running without a cable connected to the transmission
and simply putting a dust cap on the cable port (transmission side) and
giving up using the mechanical speedo and cruise if installed?
I have on order a GPS speedometer with odometer that requires no connection
mechanically. I just want to rationalize that it's mechanically safe to run
with that transmission side port capped.
If the speedometer cable is such a disabling problem, I want to remove the
possibility of this failure on my first journey and potentially long term.
Thanks for your advice.
