Reattached the speedo/odometer 914/6 unit after odometer was fixed at PA Speedo. Now the speedometer needle flutters. It did not before being pulled to have the non-functioning odometer fixed. Speedo cable rotates when car is moving, but also can be moved with pliers when not attached to gauge. Any suggestions?

In case anyone is interested, I bought a new cable from Pelican Parts, installed it and the speedo still fluttered. I took the speedo back to PAS and they tested it again and said it was OK. I also took my old cable and they said it was no good. They gave me a loaner speedo to test in my car and it also fluttered. Bottom line, the cable is defective. It is manufactured by Gemo. So now I am looking for a cable that is not made by Gemo. Is this a common issue with Gemo cables or is it a fluke? Anyone have a suggestion for a reliable cable and where I can get it?
Thanks |
