My 95's speedo bounces around while going down the road. Need some suggestions on what it could be? Thanks!

Also is there a certin speed it does it at or is it all the time and does the engine do anything out of the ordinary while it is bouncing around?

Pull your instrument panel off (not as bad as it sounds) and check the connections on the back side of the unit. I was having a similar problem w/ my tach. The connections just needed to be cleaned and pushed in tighter. Hope this helps.

No, she's all stock and it bounces all the time. Bounces around about 5 mph.

Or possibly the speed sensor in the rear end.

I'd say the speed sensor on the rear end, mine started doing that when it was going out.

Probably less time consuming to change vs. pulling the dash apart.

Well it wasn't the dash connections. Gonna put a new speed sensor in it tomorrow and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the help.
