Tacoma Speedometer Part 1

- Repairing the Speedometer on my 1996 Tacoma. The speedometer on my truck was reading faster than the truck was going, so I decided to take it apart to see if I could fix it.
This is my first video of a car repair, so it is a little long since I don't have video editing software yet. I subscribe to some other tuber's who make car repair videos, and I have learned a lot from them, so I decided to start making some of my own. Hopefully someone will benefit from this info.

Great video that helped me do what was done in the video. I had replaced the speedo cable but my 1996 Tacoma continued to squeal from the speedometer when it was cold, speedo needle waving all over the place. Same story, old grease that was hardening. Cleaned it up, oiled the rotating parts with Slip 2000 gun oil and put graphite on the worm gears. Now it is smooth as silk.
Great video. However, I found on an early version (1996) the speedo needle was attached so tightly that I had to do a lot of twisting and pulling to get it off. The underlying speedo mechanism is too fragile for the stress, and I wound up with a twisted and bent speedo shaft. I also found quite a bit of play of the speedo shaft in its bearing. There was also side to side play where the speedo shaft rides in the spinning disk. I suspect that the play (at least some of it) is due to wear, and the copper speedo disk wobbles in the spinning disk and leads to the speedo screeching. It could be that cleaning and lubricating the area between the copper disk and the spinning disk would stabilize the wobble, but you have to get the speedo needle off to get there. Maybe it can be cleaned and lubricated without removing the needle and faceplate. Short version: do not yank on the speedo needle.
That plug may be wiring for the clock. That’s where it goes
Yes, that is just a dummy plug to hold the wiring harness in place in Tacomas without the optional digital clock.
Good job here, did this today, got speedo to work...now once i get it all back together , see if check engine goes off.so do you think the speed sensor is inside the cluster and not on trany
The plug your not sure what it's for is for the dash clock.
I need to replace my speedometer lights..are those green things the light bulbs???
Its posible adjust tachometer I put one of 6 cylinder on a 4 cylinder and reads 750rmp on cold idle and scanner shows 1037
How Fix Fix that
My speedometer is running slower. Same problem?

I know this reply is one year overdue but couldn't help not answering. It's a Tacoma, I don't think anyone would care much how many miles he put on it, but that is just my opinion ;-)
Great video. You convinced me not to attempt it!
roll your odo back and sell it as low miles
