Speedo Rattle

[TheProDaniel]

I've had a slight rattle coming from my speedo for some time now but lately it has been getting worse to the point where I need to do something about it. My car is a 93 R32 with a mechanical speedo so I'm pretty sure that it is coming from there and have taken the dash apart but can't notice anything wrong (tried insulating where the cable clips to the dash).

Does anyone know what could be causing this and know how to fix it? It's driving me crazy!

Cheers

Does everything work on your cluster? Maybe a bit of plastic inside has broken off and is rolling around? Just a thought

The speedo works fine. I was hoping to find something when I took the dash off but no luck.

may be that your speedo cable is on its way out. thats wat happen to mine

maybe check the speedo cable at the gearbox

if its gonna break thats usually where it goes

i had a bounce in my speedo at low speed (up to 40 ish) then not long after my speedo cable snapped (while at drags) at the gearbox joint

and the bloody thing costs $120 new from nissan ( damn my must have genuine parts thing)

although you may not find anything, your speedo cable or guage just might be ready to give up the ghost after 14 years

Hope that helps

It does have a very small bounce but that hasn't bothered me. Do they usually rattle before letting go?

I will have to check at the gearbox on the weekend otherwise it will be a process of replacing the cable and possibly the speedo.

Thanks guys.
