Hello everyone,

I'm still getting use to ALL 914 and still learning how it works. Having one 32 years ago doesn't help much and have to get back into it.
My speedometer is not steady while driving....is there a cure?

Thank you again

Check the drive and angle gear on the lower, rear, starboard side of the transmission. Where the cable attaches. If it's loose or wiggles, it's probably dying.

A cable that is starting to fail can also cause this.

Checked it....it's dying! Is it a obtainable item or repairable?

Thanks again for the wisdom as I appreciate it..for sure!
