Hello,
I have an 86 GT with no cruise and no VSS.
My speedometer was bouncing and showing 10mph more than actual traveling speed. Forum searching directed me to a new cable and gear (17 tooth) from LMR which was installed.
Upon lubrication and installation the speedometer was still bouncy and off and then eventually stopped working all together.
A check underneath at the transmission (pulling out cable) showed everything to be hooked up and spinning freely as it should.
A check behind the instrument cluster showed the cable still attached. Upon disconnecting it I could spin the bearing or notch connected to the needle with my fingers and watch the speedometer needle climb slightly. Once I can get another partner I will spin the cable gear under the car and have the partner observe the disconnected cable behind the cluster to ensure the cable is spinning.
my car has 96k - no turn overs. I’m hoping I do not need a new cluster.
Thoughts?
