[DML] Speedometer Troubles

["Adam Lee" <delorean852003@xxxxxxxxx>]

My speedometer was non operational so I decided to replace the angle drive and the lower speedometer cable. Done. Speedometer still didn't work. I pulled the upper speedometer cable from the lambda service counter and the cable end was "chewed up". So I replaced the lambda service counter and the upper speedometer cable. So everything should work great right?? WELL the speedometer is once again working BUT it bounces 5-7 mph as you increase speed. Ughhhh. With all new hardware I began to wonder what could possibly be the issue. The angle drive that I installed is loose. Even when the nut is tightened to spec and the outer axle nut is tight you can still rotate the angle drive. Could this be the problem? If so, how do I fix it? Thats about the only thing I think could be the problem. The only other problem I can think of is a problem with the speedometer. Please help. 

PS I believe the speedometer did the same "bounce" before it stopped working and before anything was replaced. And yes the angle drive was "loose" before I replaced it. 

***Interesting side note......I have a 32 MM socket and it works great on my 81 axle nut. I have a friend who has an 82 Delorean and his axle nut is about another MM larger. Did they change the size in production?
