erikvr Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) 97 Legacy L 2.2L AT, and when I go over 40mph, the speedometer goes nuts and there's a loud squeal under the hood. Tach is fine. Noise slows down when I slow down, regardless of RPMs. Automatic tranny shifts fine. When I get down to 5mph, the noise stops and doesn't start until I go somewhere over 30. Noise started after I hit a pothole, which may or may not be important. Other detail is the Speedometer, which bounces around for a few minutes and then goes all the way to the right of the gauge and stays there until I slow down to a stop. Any ideas?? Drive belts are new and seem tight enough. Thanks guys. Edited March 8, 2009 by erikvr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Your speedo cable probably needs to be greased, or the speedo cable base is on its way out, and needs to be replaced. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru/images/speedocablebase.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
