wobbly Speedo needle! how to fix?
so while doing my b16 swap i noticed i didnt have a speedo calbe so i bought one..
eveyrthing is fine til a few days ago i started to noticed it would move ever so slightly around 50-60mph...
todays i noticed when i first take off the speedo jumps from 0 to 10 then back to what i asume to be the actually speedo (5mph) and goes back to normal for a little then begins to wabble at random speeds...
what can i do?

The same thing is happening with me right now, only mine does it from 0-30 then it stops.. which is kinda weird, but just make sure your cable is pushed down all the way in the VSS..If that doesn't work then idk because iv posted on here and still no one has determined why this is happening?
You could try taking it out and soaking the actual cord that comes out of the plastic piece in oil and then putting it back in the tube and reinstalling it...
I will not be doing this because i had a hella time trying to get that bish through the firewall.. =/

A common cause of this is lack of lubrication..
The cable starts to bind,twists up,and then releases causing the
speedometer needle to fluxuate.
There are some pics in this thread to explaining
how to grease the cable:
