There is a gizmo in the side of your transmission called a 'right angle
drive' that turns the speedo cable. It's a couple of gears and a small
bushing.  It often goes bad, and can cause the speedo cable to 'wind up' and
let go, thus giving you a hop. 

It's simple to get to and relatively easy to replace; it's on the passenger
side of the tranny, near the front.

Hope that helps.
