[M & M]

Had the same problem with my toploader.

Check the driven gear (one at the transmission end of the speedo cable) to make sure you have got the proper one rotating on the drive gear (one on the tail shaft). It is very easy to pull, one bolt and it slides out. If the gear looks fine, and it is not cross rotating (you will see a cross grove in the plastic gear) then you have two choices.

1. Plull the tail shaft and replace the drive gear (and driven gear) to get the cable rotation the other direction or

2. As Whaler suggested remove or add a 90 degree adaptor. I could not do this because of the way the cable feeds to my speedo, no room or flexability to readjust the direction of cable input into the speedo head.

Remove and replacing the tail shaft housing and drive gear is not too hard, especially if you have a car lift. It took me about 3 hours.
