ok i have a 91 integra gs with a b16 engine. my speedometer doesn't work when it movies it jumps all over like the spring isn't wotking. my speedo isn't electric its cable driven. ive changed the speedometer 3 times. (3 different ones.) ive also changed the sending unit on the tranny. are the speedometers all bad? when the speedometers are out of the car and u spin the reciver on the back of the speedometer the all jump around. so im assuming the speedomerters are bad.
any help would be apriciated. 2 of the speedometers are from a junk yard.

before i removed the origanal speedometer it would work part of the time but it would be at the corect speed. after o removedit it wold jump all over.

i prolly broke it on removal.


thanks for the help

 

I have a Toyota truck as a beater and the speedo jumps around alittle. Mine jumps because of the bad speedo cable itself. If i turn the radi down and listen closely i can hear the cable ticking. The early 90s integras are notorius for this problem. Take the speedo cable out of the car and pull the wire out. Spray it will lithium grease and you should be good to go.

 

Ok it sounds like you speedo cable is loose, Its either in the behind the cluster or on the vss check them both. hell pull the out and replug them.

If it dont work replace the cable.
