Speedo Sometimes Doesnt Work At Low Speed

[Lachlan33]

At speeds below 60km/h the speedo sometimes doesn't work. If it does stop working, it starts again as soon as I go over 60-65, and doesn't necceserily stop again when i go below 60. Kinda odd.

Anyway I was wondering if theres some cable thats loose that I can adjust without having to crack open the dial housing?

Unfortunatly your story is an all to common accurance. Is yours a digital or analog dash.

Anaglod dash - make sure speedo cable is plugged in properly and not loose. May need a new speedo cable to wear.

can we assume that you have an r33 from your login name???

if so, they are electronic and there isn't a cable

there is a speed sensor mountewd on teh back of the gearbox that can get play in it and not read, they also run a plastic gear on the end from memory so that can wear also

Yes R33.

Is this something that would be cheap to get fixed by a mechanic? It doesn't sound like something I could do myself but is it a big deal to get fixed? Its really not THAT big a problem but if it got any worse (like speedo not reading above 60km/h) then it could be a bit of a hassale

im pretty sure the senders are the same as VL's ones.. but you would have to speak to your mechanic to see how much work they think it is

on a hoist you can get to it without dropping the box or anything
