YellowSub's RX: Speedometer & AC Belt Q's

Featured Replies

88 RX Full-time 5 speed diff lock etc..

 

1st) The speedo is WAY outta whack.. It's way hyper.. like it shows 100mph coming out of 2nd gear.. Cruising in 3rd around 2k rpms shows 115mph!! Weee that's fast!! Tips? Tricks? New cable? Idea's??

 

2nd) How the hell do you tighten the AC belt? This is the set up with a mech. fan and seperate belts for the alt / ac. The belt needs to be replace.. but she wants it tightened to see if gets rid of any of the massive squeeling from turning on the AC.

 

Thanks in Advance :brow:

Is there an adjustment screw on the AC pump? I don't know, because I don't run AC :)

 

As for the cable...did you check to make sure it's seated in all the way, I had the problem...but then again...it showed i was going 30 in 5th at 3,500 rpm

The adjustment for the ac belt is on a seperate idler pulley. Directly below the AC compressor. to the right of the water pump (looking at the engine from the front).
