Speedometer needle bouncing

texbronc · Jul 1, 2012

My speedo needle jumps all around until about 30 mph where it starts to read accurately. I have replaced cable and gear in Tcase. Does the cluster need to be rebuilt? Is there a kit out there for this? Thanks.

I put a little graphite in the cable, smoothed mine right out.

Had the same issue, and used some graphite bike chain lube on the cable and it stopped the bounce. It took a few miles for the lubrication to work its way down the cable, but it did cure it.

I'll give the chain lube a shot. Thx for the help.

Having the same issue. Just squirted some Honda graphite chain lube down mine, I'll report back if it fixed it.

Like a charm! Thanks for the easy fix.

Mine jumps all over the place all the time.(when its moving) I put on a new cable. You think it just needs to be lubed? I'll give it a try.
