My speedo needle bounces until it hits 65-70 mph. Cable was changed a while back. Original speedo, 123k on the odo. Time for a rebuild, or could it be something else?javascript:emoticon(':smash:')

I also remember changing this out, checked my records, yup, 18 years ago (but only about 10k in mileage on the car since then). Is wear on the angle drive itself the typical cause of the bouncing needle, or could it be something else? Either way, I'll pull it out and mess with it. I wouldn't think that it could be trashed already based just on mileage wear.

I paid $47 for it back in '86, can only imagine what they cost now. If I do need a new one, the needle can keep bouncing....
