81 speed odometer question
Wondering if anyone has seen this before. Just recently when driving the speedodometer will start making a clicking noise and the needle will bouce between any ten mile per hour reading depending on how fast you are going. Doen't do it all the time yet but the frequency has started to increase.
Any thoughts please

You need to remove the inner cable between the speed and the cruise control transducer, or tranny if you are not equipped with cruise control. Clean it, slather it in lithium grease and re-install. The hard part is getting up in the dash to the back of the speedo.
