My 3500s with 5 speed gearbox lost it speedometer readings this summer on a long trip. I was wondering what different solutions there are for speedometer read-out for SD1 gearbox and P6 speedometer. It it possible to get a speedometer wire that has a SD1 connection on the gearbox side and a P6 connection on the speedometer side? I have posted a picture of the solution that was on my car, I have inherited that from the previous owner and do not know what parts has been used. So I wonder if someone knows what this drive has come from? It has been provisorically attached to the gearbox with a fork as on the picture. IMG_0099.jpegIMG_0099.jpeg
 
That's the standard Speedo angle drive found on most of the automatic transmission range fitted to Rover cars along with a few others except jaguar /Daimler cars which differ
 
Ok, So it is quite easy to get hold of then I assume. Thank you for that. I am travelling to England on thursday and plan to visit Wins, he might have it.
But do you know if it is common to attach it to an LT77 box with a fork?

Looks like the std fork to me, usually pressing on a plate at the end of the cable. Not having the ready access you have to mixed cables (apparently) in UK, when doing my LT77 job, I looked for cable makers, found one very close to me, took down a P6 cable and an SD1 cable, asked for a length with a P6 fitting one end, SD1 the other - tomorrow OK? $80. The right angle drive would have simplified things for me.
 
Was that angle drive sitting on top, or was there a thread which screwed into the gearbox? The adapters are repairable if it is the cable extension on it is broken. I have a feeling it was just sitting on top?
 
It is just sitting held in by that fork. So it is a temporary solution that has worked fine for me the last 4 years. And it is a speedo drive for an automatic gearbox. I have bought a new same type speedo drive from Wins and will fit that. Hopefully it will all work fine again.
