Section 13-02: Speedometer/Odometer | 1993 Mustang Workshop Manual |
The speedometer is connected to the output shaft of the transmission by means of a flexible shaft (core), and a drive gear located inside the transmission. The core drives the speedometer which registers speed in miles per hour and also drives an odometer which records distance traveled in miles and tenths of a mile.
The core or flexible shaft is housed in a flexible casing.
