This is one of the most annoying things I have ever experianced in my whole life. My speedometer squeeks really bad.
Also today, it started waving around between the speed i was going and maybe 2 or 3 mph each way left and right, it had never done this until today, maybe its just coming loose?
Am I going to have to remove the whole dash to fix this or is there an easy way to access the pointer thingy?
I love cats!!

Sounds like your speedo cable has come loose. Take out the gauge cluster and see if u can pop it back in. Pretty simple procedure to do.

yup , same thing happened to my friend on his cavy. we installed cluster inserts and the same thing happened. all it is is both things they described. its either lose, or needs to be greased or both. wd-40 should help, i beleive

the same thing happened to me, it squeaked like crazy n went up n down...
went to dealership, they had to replace the cable becaus it was all rusted out, etc, and worn out

I found out the hard way with my throttle cable. WD-40 is not a lubricant. I repeat, not a lubricant!

Sorry bout suggesting the WD-40, i jsut took a shot in the dark. What would work then for future reference? im looking for a lubricant that will work good on plastics too. i usually have a hard time removing my clear corners when changing my bulbs. in the past ive used the WD-40 which works somewhat ok. thanks
