Speedometer

so my speedometer doesnt work at all, bounces all over the place and gets stuck when i turn the car off. do you think i need a new cable or a new speedometer all together?

Replace the cable.

I'd check the gear also sounds like it might be chewed up but it could verry well be the cable

just geuss your speed, i never did the speedo gear change wheni did my 3.73's 2 years ago lol.... ok so thats not good tech advice but i'd say its the cable......

I have the same problem. I pulled the cluster out and put a drill right on the speedo and it was smooth. I thought it was everything else, so I replaced the cable, VSS, and the gear. Still bounces all over the place. So if this gets fixed I'd also like to know what was done.

Had my speedo rebuilt and it works great now. They now have parts to rebuild it, contact your local speedo shop. They work mostly on trucks but can rebuild your speedo.

Good Luck, Don

could it be the speedo drive gear (the one that drives the gear on the cable)

my spedo seems to be off by about 10mph... the tires on this ride look goofy big to me. I have new gauges that I want to install, but wondering if i should just take it to a spedo shop to get installed & fixed.

tires are: P225 / 60 / R16 on factory pony's... guess I am used to low pro's on our 2003.

Your speedo would be closer using 225/55R16 size tires. The 60's are too tall.

I used to run 205/45R16 (front) & 225/55R16 (rear) on my last stang for a staggered look on front end. I know that look is out & dropped/fat width is in. well fat tires on rear has always looked good... Whats the best combo on these pony's. I was looking to up wheel size as well & possibly do a 5 lug conversion on my project vert.

Anyone got suggestions?

 

[brandonshady]

hmmm i just went a lil: :OT: there...

larrenduece it wasnt the cable so its either the speedo gear or the speedo. ill let u know how it goes
