Thread: Speedo problems

Was stopped at a light and took off and the speedo stopped working. Several minutes after that the cel came on. Don't think it was related, its come on from time to time for no obvious reason. Thought of replacing the pinion on the tranny 1st. Had a spare tranny and went to take it off and it didn't want to come off. A piece broke off [freakin cheap pot metal!!] while I was using a scraper.
My question is A: How the hell do they come off??
B: any other ideas what maybe causing the no speedo problem?
Maybe something in the cluster, but I think some other problems would happen at the same time if it was...
Any input/direction would be appreciated....Mike
