Speedo leak - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**a Good Man** · 05-11-2023, 09:36 AM

HI ALL

I HAVE GMC JIMMY 4x4 1972 There is an Speedo leak . Is there a way to solve this problem ? Thanks

**CKfan** · 05-11-2023, 11:32 AM

Try pulling the Driven Gear Speedometer Sleeve. There should be an O-ring on the bottom between it and the transfer case. I am in the middle of tracking one down right now for mine. Goes where the arrow points.

Motor City K5 has what you guys need - It's the inner seal. Easy to press out the old one and press in the new.

**a Good Man** · 05-11-2023, 03:10 PM

Thank you guys, I would like to install it at home. Is there an installation video?

See if the photos here suffice, worked well enough for me: https://www.motorcityk5.com/i-13102-...=category:9415

I think that this is the most appropriate solution in my opinion instead of the complete jaw, but what is the O-ring measurement?

I bought it but I'm afraid I didn't find the right screwdriver to open it because the space is too tight for the key .

**DeadheadNM** · 05-22-2023, 11:52 AM

Mine went in fine and immediately fixed the leak.

Just remembered this: Torqueking.com sells a new speedometer drive adapter nut that has a new sleeve installed. They are a good source for NP205 parts.

**a Good Man** · 05-23-2023, 01:52 PM

I am still at this stage haha I searched for special socket It’s a thin socket and did not find it to unlock this part.

**DeadheadNM** · 05-23-2023, 03:15 PM

Use a 12 point socket it will fit

**a Good Man** · 05-28-2023, 11:36 AM

Thank you sir, the job has been completed successfully

**DeadheadNM** · 05-28-2023, 01:22 PM

You bet - happy to hear that's fixed and thanks for the update.

I am very happy to learn from you. I was able to make a special Socket .

**DeadheadNM** · 05-28-2023, 03:04 PM

You WIN! That's awesome.

CG · 05-28-2023, 07:16 PM

Wow, that's very cool you can make your own tools. Nicely done!

**a Good Man** · 05-29-2023, 07:55 AM

Thank you all . I also suspect this speedometer ratio adapter leaking as well . Would I like to exchange it for a new one . Where can I get a new one?

**Tmend** · 05-29-2023, 11:27 AM

4 screws and it opens. You can clean and replace the grease inside. The gaskets is most likely trash. I resealed mine using a very thing line of silicone.

I'd try this first and if unsuccessful or you need a different ratio to make the speedometer read correctly contact these folks: https://speedometercablesusa.com/gear_box_adapters.html

They assembled the one in use on my Blazer and with US parts. I'm extremely pleased with their work. Heck, get a new speedometer cable too

**a Good Man** · 05-29-2023, 03:52 PM

I don't know how to thank you guys. I'm still learning a lot from you
