If my speedometer needle is jumping around when I drive is that the cable or the speedometer? It is a new replacement cable on it right now.
This is excellent advice..Easy to get stuff arc'n & spark'n when you're fumbling around under there with metal tools!...Don’t forget to unhook your battery, first..
Yep and find out, you burned all of the bulbs in the speedo after you fought to put it in, lol ! Test the bulbs too, before you install it. Easy, just remove the bulbs and hook leads from the prongs to a 12 volt battery. Doing so, will save some fighting later.This is excellent advice!

That’s no going to work. There’s a groove in the speedometer stem. The clip is retained in that groove. The cable won’t spin. The easiest thing to do is unhook the cable at tranny first and pull the gauge cluster out a foot or so. You now have slack pulling the cluster out because the cable is unhooked at the tranny. Install everything in reverse order. New cable to speedo, reinstall speedo, attach cable to tranny.if i may high jack,i have ordered a new cable for my 71,the little plastic clip is at the top of the gauge not much room to get my fat hand in there pull it out,could i remove the cable from the tranny and spin that cable moving so the clip is easier to get to.thanks.
Dropping column will make it that much easier. But, there’s really no need to. Once the cable is unhooked at tranny. This will allow you to simply tilt the gauge cluster out at the top. Giving you plenty of room to unhook old and install new. The gauge cluster doesn’t need completely removed. So there’s really no need to drop column. But, more room. The better.ok will i have to drop the column .
Me too, loved them since I was in High School. They tour more than any band ever to exist. No other band in history, comes close to comparing how much they’ve toured. 30-40 tour dates a year. For 30 plus years. They may have cancelled recently for some unknown reason. But, that is very abnormal. I’ve seen them several times. Met, Mike McCreedy by accident before a huge show. He autographed a program for me, etc. Had a one on one with him for a few minutes without anyone else around and i’m nobody.ok thanks ps i love pearljam too bad they cancel there tour dates..
