This has happened to me once as well, tho it was quite a while ago. I believe it goes like this -- the swing effect is caused by a friction point somewhere on the speedo cable. The binding and unbinding causes a spring like effect using the lenght of the cable sort of like a torsion bar. The erratic cable speed shows up because the speedo tries to read it. After a while, the friction takes care of the working cable and
Unless you can see a kink in the cable or something like that, you're prolly looking at a new cable. hth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) kim. |
