After I get up to speeds over 30mph, my speedometer startsmaking racket and the needle bounces back and forth to 20+/- mph faster than I'm going. The noise sounds like the speedo cable is slipping in the socket, or the speedometer gears are jumping track. It doesn't always start at 30mph, sometimes it doesn't happen until higher speeds, but it does it without fail everytime I drive it. If I slow down to about 10mph it quits, but then does it again after I get up to speed. I thought it might be the cable coming loose from the speedometer, but I've unplugged it and plugged it back in several times. The cable shaft still looks square and has good shape. Has anyone had this problem, and/or does anyone have ideas? The speedometer cable is cheap enough, I may just replace it to rule that out.
For the time being I've unplugged the cable so that I don't cause further damage...
My car info...69 RR 383, 4 speed, factory rearend/gear ratio.
