I'm not sure what 'pegging' it will do, but to check the cable do this.
Do you have cruise control? If so, take off the upper cable at the transducer, and spin with a drill at low speed to see if the speedo works.
What usually happens is the tranducer goes bad, and keeps putting more pressure on the lower cable until it breaks. I put a single cable in my car. But mine was jumping around until it finally went...
Good Luck,
