i hope you didnt use bondo bondo like the 3m bondo you buy at autozone or anything. that stuff wont last near as long as a good body filler such as evercoat. i mean if the body work is already done then i guess ur best of leaving it but just for a future reference never use 3m bondo.

yeah thats the junk i used im not really worried about it though it was my first time using it and im just starting out it needs to be reworked anyway but for now its fine. but as for the speedo cable i took out the piece that just comes out i hoped it would be broken or worn out but nope it was fine so now my last option is the piece inside the tranny okay so to replace that what would be easiest? taking the whole thing out? can i just take the back part out that its in? if i take the whole thing out i might get a rebuild kit for it

The teeth on the rear of the gear might not be the problem...Did you look at the front of the gear? Where the cable fits into it? If that's rounded out it would spin,but the cable wouldnt.

That blows. Always better if you don't have to take alot of stuff off. I hate messing with transmisisons.

You can pull the tail housing, not the whole tranny. Put a seal in the housing while it's off to prevent future driveline yoke leaks at the tranny.
