i had a lot of errons tro run today. when i gassed up my car, the oddometer read 120850. i also rest my trip at this time. when i was done the odometer said 120897 and the trip said 36.3. this is 11 miles diffrence. why are they diffrent? is the mecanical link bad or slipping? which one is corect? BTW it's a stock cluster 91 w/ tach and cable drivin speedo.

 

BUMP come on this is bothering me

 

some times my spedo cable would randomly pull its self out just enough to not give accurate readings,my mph would jump like a mother ****** but the travel disatance and all that wouldnt even budge.if it did it was only for a couple of miles if that.check to see if the cable is in both spot's pushed in directly.in the tranny and behind the cluster.it is mostlikely just slightly comin out like my problem was.

 

no my MPH is fine. no jittering it's the odomter and trip that are confusing me

 

bump i thought some on here would know.

EDIT: the cable is fine; the MPH is fine and isint jittering or bouncing it's just the trip / odometer. i just do want to appear to have odometer fraud when i infact dont.

 

why dont you open up your odometer and find out if anything might be a little loose?just a guess

 

is'nt it illeagle in CA to drive w/o a speedo? this is my daily driver and depend on it.

 

yes it is,but who is going to know? when you get pulled over your car is stopped.i havent even had dash lights in like a year"that's a mess in its self" and every time i get pulled i just turn my headlights off and my dome light on.

 

well i figure when i get pulled over and there is a huge hole where the spedo is he might wonder

 

dont kae the gauge out just leave it in there.no cop in there righ mind would pull your cluster to check to see if our speedo was attached to your gauge or not.any luck yet?

 

no i mean if i take it out and take it to a speedo shop to clean it. what do i put in the hole? a cardbourd painted black and a neddle on 0?

 

deff,i bet it would auctually work,as dumb as that sounds most cops prolly wouldnt even give it a second thought

 

Man you are worried over a spedo cable? i doubt a cop will actually ask you to pop your hood to check your SPEDO CABLE, "is that a fake spedo Cable there son??" hahaha. relax man. maybe you just need a new one. i got an extra one if you need. quickrexsi21@aol.com......remember cops wont be actually looking at your spedo or odometer.
