latch is broken

[ramiroflores]

I was doing a gearbox oil change and removed the speedo cable and drained the oil and refilled the oil when I bolted back the retaining washer for the speedo cable and stud sheared off. Any advice would be helpful I guess I will need to remove the gearbox to get access at the broken stud?

Is this an M100 Elan? if so you are in the wrong forum as this is for the classic Elans 1962 to 1973 (approx)
The M100 cars have a forum on this link https://forum.lotuselancentral.com/index.php
