My speedo in the 52 Quit with 1285 mi. on it. Started bouncing all over then dropped to 0. Ok, thought it was the cable, so this week I pulled out the dash cluster & un-did the cable & gave the speedo head a spin, "works". On to the cable, pulled it out & spun it on the bench, "WORKS" Oh Oh, problems in the Tremec, pulled out the drive adapter, & went to spin the pinion gear, SEIZED solid!!! Luckely the cable wasn't "all the way in" the drive gear & didn't tear out the square drive in gear stem. Took the adapter apart, wire wheeled the shaft, & lubed it up!! Looking up into hole the drive gear looks perfect but "DRY" car has sat since 1st. part of Nov. would the lube be off of it by now???? Going to jack up the rear & run it. Hoping I didn't break the main d/gear clip that holds it to output shaft???

Nice heated garage Carl, no need to wait till spring!! Knocking off the list on 52 one by one, nothing "major" Then on to the 64 list, again "nothing major" there either!! still thinking of 'selling" or "swapping" the Catalina, had it since 01 & may be time for something else, done everthing I wanted to it, Just a great cruiser, know I could go "cross country' in it w/o a worry!!!

i have a tremec in the coronet behind the hemi. i found their tech support not to bad. i'd be asking them their thoughts.
interesting fact, the tech support guy for them is in mississauga. him and another guy developed that tranny and sold it. when i had a ? or two they gave me a long distance number that was p/u'd by the guy in mississauga. shootin the poop and he told me the story. i will try to find the number but my computer crashed a couple of months ago, bummer, and i didn't get all the stuff over to new one. I'll take a look. good luck.
