Didn't actually lose my speedo.....lost functionality. (I know where the guage is).
This evening's drive, heard a "noise" coming from the guage area. Then it stopped for awhile, and started producing the noise again....and speedo needle was rather erratic. So I pulled over, pulled the speedo out and disconnected the cable. It looks to me like the square female end on the speedo isn't square anymore...cable end looks fine. Bad pic of the speedo end. What are my options? Can I replace the square recepticle end on the speedo? I'll also add, I have noticed a slight bounce in the needle for as long as I've owned the car. 3yrs. Tips, comments, remedies are appreciated. Thx.   |

North Hollywood Speedometer can fix it. I would dig and find my 120 mph speedo for parts. But I'm cheap

I found an independent person who rebuilt them at his house in the Los Angeles area. I can look up his name if your interested. Let me know.

Thanks for the recommendations. Took the speedo out yesterday, cleaned the end of drive. Lotta gunk in there. Turns out it's not stripped. I did recently have the speedo out to replace the bulbs with led bulbs. I must not have tightened the ring nut enough.doh!.... Reinstalled it and made sure the nut was tight (channel locks).....went for a 30 mile drive, all good.
