Default Speedo doesn't work under 20mph

Like the topic says, my speedometer doesn't start working until after 15 or 20mph. I'm not too worried about it because it usually always works after this, but I'd like to know if it's an easy fix.

Any ideas?

Ive got a similar problem, and it never happened before I did my trans swap. Check your speedo cable connection where it connects to the trans.

I'll check this. I have an engine swap planned i nthe next few months so I guess it isn't totally important to get this fixed. Either way, it's something I would like to know how to fix.

Sometimes the speedo cable starts to bind and do just what you are saying. You can pull the cable part out of it's sheath and grease it really good, that should fix it right up. My DA was doing that until the cable finally snapped and I just had to buy a whole new one so I say grease it soon to maybe avoid having to replace it.

check out the speed cable, maybe it's not pluging tight. other than that, check the pin on the speed cluster sometimes it's loose then not working well on speed....
