I have recently developed a problem with my speedometer. When i am just driving normal it sits on the peg, but if i get on it, it will jump up to the speed i am going but as soon as i let off it drops back down to the peg. Anyone have any ideas what is wrong? Thanks

 

speedo cable probably needs lube

 

How do i do that? And what do i use?

 

My speedo problems were caused by my vehicle speed sensor. I suggest pulling yours out to check it. All the teeth were pretty much shot on mine. It turns out the sensor was good, just the gear was bad. I was getting all kinds of crazy readings. Like going about 50 and having the speedo jump from 30 and shudder it's way past 60. Random **** like that.

 

if it's a cable issue ..just buy a new one they are cheap

 

alright sounds good where is the best place to pick one up?

 

I got one at advance auto for around 25 bucks.

But I don't understand how it could be the cable....it is a mechanical connection to the tranny, either it works or it dosn't. I think it more of a speedometer problem.

 

any local parts store or 50resto.com

 

well the last time i dropped the tranny i noticed that the gear was a little worn so i am thinking maybe it is only catching every now and then.

 

i just now noticed the odometer has quit working also are they all ran with one another or does that mean there is more then one problem?
