Hi Bob,
I'm not sure if this has been covered but....if there is any bending of the
inner speedo cable the needle will quiver.
To check it you lay it flat and straight on a floor and then roll it along
with your finger tips.
If it is straight it will roll along, if it is not it will jump about.
With this test you can straighten a bent inner cable but it takes patience.

Now I'm pretty much convinced my speedo problem is due to the cable, or
maybe the right-angle drive. I've cleaned and lubed the cable and it
looks fine; can a normal-appearing cable still cause problems (jumpy
needle)? Also, the right-angle drive is the original, with over 150K
miles--is it possible/likely this is causing the problem?
