Hey guys have a question. Since I’ve purchased my ‘30 Tudor I’ve been tackling odd vibration noises and fixing them. Last evening on our ride I found one of the last odd noises. The speedometer doesn’t work so I traced the noise to a broken speedometer cable. I removed the cable and installed the Hallow wire loom until I can order a new one.The odd noise is mostly gone now but their is still a hint of it their. Both ends came out from Speedo and tranny. Is their a gear in their that needs to be replaced? Any input would be awesome! Thanks

Get under your car and remove the speedometer drive assembly from the driveshaft. Two quarter inch bolts. See if it's dry inside. If so, pump grease into the u joint until grease comes out of the speedometer drive opening in the driveshaft. This may take an entire tube of grease. If your speedo drive is dry, then your u joint may be as well.
