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?

IME, cables can be damaged during installation, or while working under the dash, or simply developing a kink or bend while in place (say, someone kicks it, ir it gets forced forward or back). I'd check that before buying a cable. Gemo may be all that's out there, and I've had no problems with the dozen or so I've installed over the years.
