BlakeusMaximus: Good luck with your speedo shop. IMHO, pulling the cable and speedo and taking it to the shop will likely "prove" nothing. They can't reproduce the actual installation in your car. Testing the components at their shop is simply putting it together and running it with a drill. Did they put new bearings and bushing in the speedo? The cable is a simple sturdy assembly; the speedo is a POS.
On my 89 LX, my speedo was working well until I took the dash assembly out to replace bulbs, etc. I think the cable had not much end play and re-inserting it into the cluster may have upset the worn bushing/bearings in the speedo causing it to waver badly. A new cable made it worse. the 89 was rear-ended and given last rites before I fixed the speedo. My 91 had the same problems as I said before.
Please keep us informed.
