OK, I've been lurking on and off for the last several years now, but have never had anything to add to the vast knowledge shared here. I really enjoy the chatter between all.
It is now time to see if anyone else has had any issues with their speedometer shelling out. I am about to replace my third (that makes the 4th for the car) speedometer since I have owned the car from new. Every time it has been the same issue, the main shaft bends (or wallers out the frame) and causes the rotor to rub on the bell. This causes the needle to jump and skip and generally be useless.
The first time I had the speedo rebuilt the shop told me to shorten the cable but that obviously did not help. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else has had this (or a similar) problem and if anyone knows what causes this. It's not only annoying but also starting get expensive.
Thanks All!
