next time the speedo gets flakey, try your directionals to see if they work or not.
metal filings on the speed sensor, or a defective speed sensor causes the problems at the same time. an easy fix.
good luck

Check and make sure it's plugged in n the back. I spent days chasing an intermittent and inaccurate fuel gauge. Turns out the plug was coming loose on the back of the gauge.

I worked as a service writer in the early 00's and saw this frequently. Speedo would flip out, then be normal, no way to predict it. As others here have said, small metal shavings would build up and get stuck on the sensor. Try changing your oil and cleaning the sensor.
