I installed a new upper Speedo cable today in effort to fix nonworking
Speedo and odometer (top clip on previous cable broken).  Got new cable in
(obviously a PO had put a new cable in as old one had non-German wire ties
holding it to a/c hose) without too much difficulty and checked it before
connecting lower end.  Speedo moved.  Hooked up lower end, and tested van.
No movement.  I went back under van and found that lower Speedo cable was
not
firmly attached to back of wheel housing.  Pulled it out.  Wheel end was
sheared off.

What do I do now besides order a new lower cable from one of list vendors?
Is it possible that gears in box that connects the two Speedo cables are
bad?
