SuperchargedRS Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 My speedo on my 90' Loyale is sticking. I will take her up to about 65mph, slow down to about 45 at it will still read 65, then swoop down to 45. Are these things electronic or mechanical, I dont hear any noise or binding. Thoughts? Thanks, S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Your cable that goes to the trans from your gauge is most likely sticking. Yes it is mechanical and may need to be greased a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 One of mine was doing that. Since I have 2 identical cars, I learned whrer the tach is for a few of the MPH speeds, and drove it by the tach. Eventually, it stopped sticking. My guess is it is something in the gauge itself. If the cable stuck, it would break off and read zero. It's driven by a gear in the tranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 It's the gauge itself. You will need to replace the cluster. They are very plentiful at the junk yards. This comes up a lot when it's cold out - the temp drop causes the old, dried-up lube in the speedo head to get sticky. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I found on mine that it was the pointer that had distorted and was rubbing against the dial face. I just roved the clear plastic cover and cut the pointer down a touch. Job Done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
