Day 2 of CJ5 ownership....my speedometer didn't work, and I knew my cable was broken. I ordered a replacement cable, and installed it last night. I had to remove the speedo gear to get the broken end of the cable out of it. After I replaced the cable and reinstalled the speedo gear, I took it for the test drive. It registed a speed, but never returned to zero. The mileage counter continues to work though, which suggests I simply need a new gauge. Anyone have experience with this?
