Default Re: 1930 Model A speedo routing

How does it run after that? I can't get my newly rebuilt Speedo to work, but if I press and turn the center cable with a drill from the transmission side, it operates. I'm thinking the cable is either routed wrong under the floorboards making it too short or the ends of the cable center are rounded off, or its the wrong cable and too short. It bends pretty tight on the drivers side of the transmission where it goes into the speedo gear. The previous speedo was frozen, but the cable is not broken. I removed the trans gear tonight and the gears all look good there. The cable center was turning when I rotated the Speedo gear but seemed like it was turning too freely to be spinning the speedo. I don't have a helper to sit in the cab while I'm underneath. :-) any ideas would be great!
