As long as we're talking speedometers,...mine seems to take a while to 'warm up' in the morning...It stays on '0' until I drive a couple of miles then it suddenly kicks on...Any ideas?...

there would be three places for a speedometer to fail. inside the transmission one of the plastic gears could strip. the cable could bind break or whatever. and inside the head of the sppedometer. has plastic gears also that could strip. i think i have heard fo this prbolem before. i don't remember if the cure was graphite inside the cable or the plastic gears inside the speedometer. i would try the graphite first.

yes the transmission has two gears on is on the main shaft of the transmission. it is a sprial gear. the other gear is on the gear holder head.

yeah cause the one on the cable itself is fine but like i said it could be the $8 cable insert that isnt working properly
