HH Follow up on the speedo. I believe I figured out the cause of the first speedo destruction. Remember the dial started shaking was so bad that that the needle fell off and spring disintegrated. The same thing started up with the new unit, curiously after behaving for several weeks. Pulled the cable and checked for damage, lubed it again, check the gears from the transmission but the dial shaking was getting worse the more I fiddled. Something made me just to start the threads on the retaining nut on the back of the speedo and not tightened it down all the way. I had to move the car and when I pulled into my spot again the gauge did not shake. Maybe the cable was too long and needed some slop to work property. Thought I would pass it on...Dumb stupid luck
