				Fluid in bottom of speedometer?
			 
			
			What would cause fluid to accumulate at the bottom of the speedometer?  It looks like it was slightly greasy and has been gone for a while, but you can still see slight discoloration on the white parts at the bottom of the gauge.  Any ideas?  I figured it must be the sender leaking.

			Thanks John.  I guess the cable must need to be changed.

			Cable has a seal that can fail.  It keeps the oil from being wicked up from the trans to the gauge.   
		
	
		
	
			
			
				
					You'll need to clean out the crud in the gauge.
