Might also want to take a look at the inner cable.  Try this:  pull the cable 
out and lay it straight on a clean flat surface.  Roll the cable across the 
surface with your fingers while keeping it as straight as possible.  If the 
cable rolls nicely, then your problem is probably elsewhere.  If it flops 
around or has a 'jerky' feel to it, you most likely need to replace it.  
Anyway, that's what worked for me.  A local speedo shop just cut me a new cable 
from a bulk roll and swedged the ends, lubed it, and installed it for less than 
$20.  Works like a charm.

Hello Brad,

       i have the same problem and asked earlier on the list. the
       consensus was that the NUT on the speedo drive INSIDE the
       tranny has come loose. several solutions were offered besides
       taking the tranny apart, the most ingenious being to go in thru
       the place where the cable connects, (where you can actually SEE
       whats going on), taking a punch and a hammer and smacking it to
       in an attempt to get it to "hold". instead, i read the tach and
       do mental calcs to determine mph.
