Re: Speedo jumps
The TH350 gear housing isn't the same size as a 700R4, IIRC, so if you've swapped in a TH350, there would be a problem. Here's what you need:

Re: Speedo jumps
i wont speak for compatibility, but the cable needs lube. graphite lube for lock cylinders will work. its a dry lube

Re: Speedo jumps
I used white lithium grease, on the speedo back where the cable hooks in and I also shot a decent amount in the cable using the straw but it sounds like you should follow james advice, even if you lube it you still need compatible parts
