    > Hi everyone.
    > I was so happy last month when I freed the speedometer where the
    cable goes
    > in. Not long afterward the needle began to jump and drop off at speed. I
    > opened the cluster a few weeks ago and put a drill on the drive and
    noted
    > perfect response, not jumpy like when driving. I assumed the cable
    was the
    > problem, I cleaned and lubed the speedo and re-installed it. Last
    evening I
    > pulled the speedo again, this time I examined the cable and its drive
    > socket. The socket where the cable end turns the speedo is tapered and
    > square. The cable end, I assume is supposed to be a similar shape, it is
    > not. I also assume that while the speedo was seized the cable end
    was still
    > turning, wore down to its present shape which is not seating in the
    speedo
    > socket. Aside from finding a new cable has anyone solved this
    problem with a
    > work-around? I slid a piece of heat shrink tube over the cable end to
    > increase its size. It is working but I don't guess it will last very
    long.
    > Conversely, I need a new or used cable which goes between the speedo
    and the
    > cruise control box. Anyone have one?
