Hi Don, There might be two issues here. My similar experience was that =
the tach was jumping. Original cable seemed to have slight kinking that =
I made better, but instrument still jumped. Bought and installed the Mos=
s cable, which is a current design and probably better. Instrument still=
jumped which, it turned out, was caused by bearing in the head allowing=
the cup to contact the rotating magnet. Once repaired, the tach read fi=
ne. Eventually I re-installed the original cable, because to me it look=
ed better. And it dripped. Dripping might have been my doing, as I oiled=
the cable liberally and may have not wiped it dry enough, and it could =
be that the cable is working grease up from the reduction drive on the d=
ynamo. Speedo can work it up from the gearbox. A big drip can come fro=
m connection of oil pressure pipe to the gauge, something worth checking=

Sages of the list, =
In the past i have had a problem, like most T series owners, with the wi=
ld fluctuations of my speedometer.I had pulled the original cable and fo=
und a fairly large kink in it. I did some vise clamping and some gentle =
persuasion on the cable jacket and returned it to a roundish shape. howe=
ver this didn=E2€™t help the problem. I ordered the non origi=
nal cable from Moss which is a sealed cable with a plastic jacket. I fin=
ally had a semi decent speedometer reading. Then we started to notice t=
hat drips of oil were coming out of the top of the cable nearest the spe=
edometer, followed by my speedometer going all the way up and sticking a=
t the top speed. (no way in h3ll). Any fixes on stopping this oil from w=
orking its way up from the tranny?
