Speedo sporadic

[Steve B]

I expect that it will resolve your issue.  Since you say that the odo was functional there could be no way a cable or drive gear issue would be responsible.

It is funny that they mentioned the calibration issue, as I would expect the "cup" would be the part that converts the rotation of the cable to speed.

Good luck!
