Cable Speedometer Questions What would cause it to read 10-20 mph faster than your actual speed? It also fluctuates quite a bit but I suspect the cable is just hanging up on that part... any ideas?

On my 85' Monte it was doing the same thing so I bought a used cable and there is a grease that goes in the cable to keep things lubed up. Go to autozone or orielly and ask them what use for it. Make sure that nothing is tuggin on the cable either and it is kink free and in good shape. Good luck I know what you mean. It bothers the **** out of ya.

Looks like your cable is "spun" replace the cable and see if that doesn't fix it... I use to have this problem on my nova as the car went a lot faster then the speedo wanted to spin...i went through like 4 cables. It always followed by a leaky tranny where the cable plugs into the tranny...
Just get a new cable and see if that doesn't fix it..that's my advice..
