Jumping Speedometer
Thought I should post what I did to finally fix my jumping speedometer. I tried cleaning the cable then using white litheum, then general purpose grease, then wheel bearing grease, then speedo cable lube.. nothing seemed to work.. actually it would work for a few miles and then bouncing again. What I did was disconnect the cable from the speedo and from the tranny.. pulled the inner cable and cleaned it. Then sprayed about 1/2 can of brake cleaner in the cable housing.. using a container to catch all the fluid under the car... I let it sit over night to make sure it was drained and dried. I then took my grease gun, wrapped a rag around the opening and forced grease into the housing. I kept forcing in grease until it came out the bottom. Reinstalled the inner cable and she's working like new. No jumping at all. Hope this helps someone.. :cheers:
