Build POTM - March, 2014 - Javelina By Pablo Cruise

[PabloCruise]

Right around this time (15 Jan) in 2008 I closed the deal to purchase this fine swine!

She would arrive about a month later.

Review = two thumbs up!!!

Oh yes, we were in and out of 5th many times.

I started out at 5000' and RMNP is at ~7800', going through the Big Thompson canyon. Lots of twists and turns, lots of shifting.

Weds was my birthday, so I took the day off work, slept in, ate cake, and then got after that speedo cable!

It was a pretty good day...

I didn't post any details about the speedo cable!
I have pictures! Factory Toyota parts! In bags! W/ p/n's!

And it was right around this time (mid-Feb) that she showed up!

Somehow this didn't enhance our Valentine's Day celebration -

Thread 'Transfer leak at speedo cable'

Feb 9, 2007

Yes I have searched, https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=121722&highlight=speedy+sleeve

This is on my buddies 72 (Furpants) and we are going to fix it tomorrow. Neither of us has done this before so I want to be prepared.

Will a speedi-sleeve fix this? Or is this the output seal gone bad? The ONLY place the gear oil is leaking is from the speedometer cable.

Appreciate the help.
