Thanks. We undid the cable and attached a drill and bingo speedo worked. Re-attached same and no speedo. Is it a gearbox out job to find the problem ? Have a '69 ID with the same problem.Purchased a $50 GPS based speedy which projects onto the screen but does nothing for the odometer. Odometer readings are needed for SI rego in Tassie.
All the old VWs did (Type1, 2 and 3. The cable just went through the hollow LH stub axle and the bearing cap had a square hole in it.
The essence of the KISS principle.
likely either the cable has snapped or some has pulled on the cable at some point and separate the end of the cable from the cogs.
Next step would be to remove the cable from the gear box. If is like my '78 dyane, it's just a matter of removing the retaining bolt and jiggling the end of the cable out (gear box in situ)
Do you have a manual for the car? this should have photos.
Other option would be to take it down to Balki in Sheffield

There should be a little gear inside the gearbox that will pull out. It’s either missing or stripped
