First I would like thank all those listers that have helped me out over the last month or so-it's really appreciated! I hate to be a pain in the rear but I have, I hope, one final question. I put my

Disconnect the speedo cable and confirm that it's turning at low speeds (below 20mph). If so, there might be something impeding the drag cup/spindle assembly. Remove the speedo's bezel and glass and

This is not uncommon behavior of these types of speedo's. Possibly some solidifying of the oil in the spindle bearing. It can make the needle bearing stick a bit when starting of. It will do no harm

In general a speedo (or rev counter) cable should never be lubricated with oil. This will nearly always lead to problems: to much oil being used, pumping action up or down, little resistance to corro

First remove the speedometer and set it up where you can see the speedo cable through the speedo mounting hole. Be sure the cable is pushed all the way in the sleeve and then take the car for a driv

First suspects: angle drive and/or speedocable. Another possible is the drive in the gearbox or OD. Kees Oudesluijs NL [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of cou

Hi Simon, I would add to Alan's recommendations the following: After removing the speedo and before taking the car for a drive try driving the speedo using a battery operated drill. You have to run t
