My B's speedo was fluctuating about 5 to 10 mph, then I noticed it get much
worse while
the odometer was changing from 19999 to 20000 and the trip was changing from
199.9 to
200.0. I remembered someone else saying something about stiff odometer wheels,
so
stripped the speedo. Wheels seemed fine, but the main input shaft felt a
little stiff.
Put a drop of oil on each end of the shaft and it felt looser. Back in the
car, it's
now as steady as a rock.
