Mine did the same thing between 25 and 35 mph. I just lubed the cable after looking it up here on the forum.....Problem solved.

If that doesn't work Late Model Resto has them for about $17, easy fix.

My elco (its a chevy, the speedo works the same) did that, I checked and the cable inside the sheath had started to come apart (just unwinding)

make sure you check the speed sensor as well, they have little plastic teeth on the end which can get ground down and start "missing". It is where your cable goes into the tranny
