Re: Speedometer noise

[Matthew Caprio <cap29100@flash.net>]

It's almost CERTAINLY your cable.  But you don't necessarily need a new
one.  Try to just adjust the position of it-- pull on it slightly, and
change the bend a little by leaning it in different spots against the brake
fluid reservoir etc.  You'll find the best place for it eventually.. (where
the speedo needle doesn't bounce).  I wish they weren't so picky, but they
are....
