Speedometer Problem

[pj'l_master]

I was driving down the road and my speedometer stopped working...then a few minutes later (after i restarted the car and drove for a while) it started working again...

how hard will this be to fix, and where can i find some white gauge backing things, and more importantly is there anyone in Michigan that would be willinh to help w/ this?

i had this problem too. it was stuck at 30mph.... then i came to a stop, it dropped down to 0. then i shut the car off. turned it back on, then drove it. it was all good after that..... from what i have heard, its just that the bearing gets dirt in it. if you take out the dash, and the cluster, you could spray some wd-40, then oil it.
Also this is realted to the "jumpy speedo" .
what i did, instead of taking the cluster out, i just loosened the dash trim, and gave the top of the dash a good hit. this took care of the problem. no jumpy speedo and no more stopped speedo.
i would hit it a couple times, just to make sure....
i was actually mad at her, and hit the dash... then said, F-it, put the dash back together, then drove her, and it was fixed..... i then gave her a kiss...... lol

oh yeah, the speedo was stuck at 30, in a school zone.... rated at 20.... i was like oh S***!!!!! i tried hitting the brakes, but it didnt work... i was like........ ...... LOL that was fun.... considering there was a cop behind me......

that is EXACTLY what it was doing for me after i got the new clutch installed, but then it stopped for a while and after i got the exhaust system put on today it stopped all together (a few hours after the installation) but then it started working again later

you might want to check the connector on the trans. the electrical connector, and the top nut. also check the nut on the trans.
