OK, what's the deal...
Is my 83 Diesel suppose to have the 85mph gauge or the 120 (or is it 110)? When I first got mine, it had the higher number speedo in it, although I could tell that it had been out a time or two.
Is the 85mph diesel only or maybe diesel and air-cooled?
Anyway, both of mine are shot and unrepairable. Anyone have one to sell? |

PM me. I have a cluster from my 82 diesel with the original speedo. I believe the odometer was working when I took it out. |

The '82 and '83 diesel speedos are different.

The one from my 82 has a clip style cable. I am not looking at it, but my bet would be 80 something mph is the max since the original top speed with a tail wind was around 60mph. |

How so? Appearance? Fit?
My 83 cable has a white plastic clip, I believe. |

It may just be appearance. The 83 will have 4 sets of red dots along with the red at 55. The 82 will only have 3 sets of dots and they will be at different points that no longer correspond to the gearing. The '83 has the "805" speedo with an 85 MPH max and a clip style connection. If the '82 is also an "805" then it will work the same as long as you don't mind the gearing discrepancy.

I I had a 5 speed installed, those dots would be important to me!
WBX's were 100mph, was the 83 as well?

OK, so what I should be looking for is an 805 from a 5-speed 1983 diesel with an 85mph face, right? |
