I've had 3 different speedo's in my car and they all bounce (3-5mph) the needle between 20 and 70mph. I am going to redo the tranny next week and was wondering if it might be the cable or the speedo drive causing the bouncy needle thingy. Either way I'd like to fix it when I have the car up on stands.

Mine had this problem when the angle-drive was leaking tranny fluid into the cable. I'd replace the cable and/or get the speedo serviced and it would be back again very soon. The direction of rotation on the cable just wicks the fluid right up into the speedo and gunks up the whole thing. I solved the problem by going to an electronic speedo and then disassembling the whole car to restore it. If it ever gets put back together I'll deal with the angle-drive then.
