The other day I noticed my Speedometer needle bouncing 15-20 MPH swings while at crusing speed. I knew my speedo cable housing was burnt from resting on the header long time ago. I ordered a new cable, a simple job to replace if you don't have a center console, or a 500mil battery relocate cable running in the tunnel along with the speedo cable. So after 2-3 hrs to do a 1/2 hr job I think I'm done. Go for a test drive, and nothing The needle dosn't even move while driving. I pulled the speedo out and verified the cable turns when driving. Hooked up my drill motor to drive the speedo manually and the needle barely makes it to 30 mph at full speed on the drill motor. Put it back in go for a drive and at 30-40 MPH on the GPS the speedo is only 20mph. The needle hangs there when stopped, and now my odometer dosn't turn or clock miles.
Obviously something broke or is worn, has anyone done this repair? is it serviceable? Or am I better off sending it out?
Palo Alto spedometer or North Hollywood Speedo are the only ones I know about.
Any PNW folks know of a speedo shop in Seattle or localaly with out sending it off?

Toni I have an extra speedo if you want to borrow one. LMK

whats a speedometer ???

Or you could just replace it with a GPS Speedo like I did and do away with speedo cable issues, tire size problems, etc... Bought mine and love it.

Jeff,
LOL!!, What's a speedometer?
One of them new fangled things that some folks use to determine if they are in for a ticket; they use them because they don't know how to convert RPM's and gears to speed.
I spect guys like you could tell speed fairly accurately by the music of the 6's RPM's alone! Kinda like telephone poles going by like picket fences.

Dude, it's just too much pug dander. If you don't run that speedo into the triple digits at least once per week in your environment, this is typical.

I would say you could hire Troy to help, but he's more likely to let the smoke out of your clutch than burn the pug dander out of your speedo.

Sorry TC,
I just could't resist,
I looked on outta the window and I started countin’ phone poles, goin’ by at the rate of four to the seventh power. Well I put two and two together, and added twelve and carried five; come up with twenty-two thousand telephone poles an hour.
LOL!,
Tom

Alright Ding-Dongs,
Sofar Kevin has been the only one with pertinent info.
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll do spell check next time,"speedometer"
Nord, thanks for the offer, I think I'll send mine in for repair

I had this guy do some machining on mine and got her fixed up. I think it was like $75.00 and shipping to get it fixed.
