mattyg41383 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 1990 Legacy wagon, 2WD A/T The last couple days have been hot here in NY, and Ive noticed that when the car has been baking in the sun the spedometer gets stuck when I drive. This morning i got in and took off and it stopped at 20, then after getting back in again and hitting the highway it stopped at 40. Anyone ever have this happen or have a possible fix... it did it last summer too but didnt ask about it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Might need a new speedometer cable, it sounds like that might be it. Look it over and see if it is kinked anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The grease in the cable housing is probably gumming up. You could try removing the cable from the housing and cleaning it. However without cleaning the housing, it may just be a temporary fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
