    Default How do i grease my Speedo Cable?

    my cable has jumped as i accelerate since i have got it. I was told that all it needs is some grease. Can i grease it while its on? When i talk it off how would i grease it. does the rubber around the cable slide off? 89 wagoneer I-6.

    Just add some oil down the cable. You will have to take your instrument cluster out to do it because you want the oil to work its way down the cable.

    I would use some motor oil if possible. Something a little heavier than 3 in 1.

    What about removing the cable and using graphite as the lubricant?
