from 30-40 mph the speedo needle shakes, it kind of vibrates as it climbs. it stops after 40 mph. its bugs me. can it be fixed or is it a honda problem because i noticed this on my friends moms 88 accord. ---

My needle did that same $hit twice. Once when i was doin’ 55, tha needle jump to 70 or 80. And tha other time was when i was on tha highway doin’ 110 and it jumped to 120. So i’m just as concerned as u are. It hasn’t done it in a while, but I’m still leary about it. ---

Have you disconnected ur speedo cable before??? Mine does the same thing at the same speeds. I’m guessing it’s cause the speedo cable is loose or something like that. ---

Yeah, i just put my indiglo gauges in about a month ago and after i took out the gauge cluster and detached the speedo cable, and then reassembled it, the neddle bounces a little but not like yours. My friends 87 integra bounced all the time and he just put a new speedo cable and it is great now! ---

Yup, sounds like you need a new speedo cable. It runs about $22 from Honda and is time consuming, but a fairly straight forward install. ---
