I noticed on the way in to work this morning,the speedometer needle was jumping 5 to 10 mph up until 50 mph then the needle would stop jumping and smooth right out like it was supposed to act?
Is this just Grease needed to add to cable or other problems?
Thanks for the info
Jeff E.

Sounds like the cable.... Mine just broke so I need to get a new one as well.... I would try lubricating it to see if that helps. Its binding up and then releasing causing the Jump. If it's starting to let go small wire strands will split and brake. These sometimes catch the cable housing causing the slight stall (jump).... Old Jeep speedos do the same thing. People replace perfectly good units not relaizing that it's only the cable.
