Mechanical Speedometer trouble
Well, last year my speedo started jumping after about 20 miles. it will bounce about 20 mph faster then you are going up and down.
So I replaced the drive unit on front wheel first. tested it out, same thing. Replaced Speedometer cable, tested it out, same thing. Now this spring I put a new speedometer in it thinking there is nothing else it could be right?? Guess what, still doing it!
I have checked my odometer against my car and with mile markers and it is right on, but the damn speedometer is all over the place? Any idea's what could be wrong?
Thanks!

I also like dri-slide for my speedo and other cables. Found this at home depot, works about the same. :

Or a lightweight white lithium grease but only a little...YD
