Might also want to take a look at the inner cable. Try this: pull the cable
out and lay it straight on a clean flat surface. Roll the cable across the
surface with your fingers while keeping it as straight as possible. If the
cable rolls nicely, then your problem is probably elsewhere. If it flops
around or has a 'jerky' feel to it, you most likely need to replace it.
Anyway, that's what worked for me. A local speedo shop just cut me a new cable
from a bulk roll and swedged the ends, lubed it, and installed it for less than
$20. Works like a charm.

Hello Brad,
i have the same problem and asked earlier on the list. the
consensus was that the NUT on the speedo drive INSIDE the
tranny has come loose. several solutions were offered besides
taking the tranny apart, the most ingenious being to go in thru
the place where the cable connects, (where you can actually SEE
whats going on), taking a punch and a hammer and smacking it to
in an attempt to get it to "hold". instead, i read the tach and
do mental calcs to determine mph.
