[DML] Re: Speedometer

It doesn't mean the the cables are ok if the needle still moves.  
Check both ends of the lower speedo cable and see if they are rounded 
out or if they're still there.  

I had a problem very similar to what you describe and it turned out 
that the lower cable that goes into the AD was broken at the very 
end.  It had just enough to bounce the needle and give some readings, 
but not enough to work properly.

Couldn't hurt to grease the cable either.
