Lately, my speed gauge acts weird. When speeding up and the gauge gets to a certain speed, it will stay there until the vehicle actually goes like 10 speed faster then the gauge up move very quick to show the accurate speed. When slowing down, it does the same thing in the opposite way. It will wait until the vehicle is like 10 speed slower, then the gauge comes down very quick to show the accurate speed. What is doing this to the gauge?

 

Second problem: While on a long trip, during a hill climb, the car suddenly shook a lot for about 10 second and so I let go of the gas a little then it went away and never showed again the rest of the trip. What could be causing this? Could it be just a fluke or what?

It's something in the gauge itself. My father's 90 legacy had the same problem. Worse part about his was that it did it at about 60mph, so there was always a chance you could be doing 70mph in a 55 because it was stuck. I think he fixed his by swapping it with one from a junkyard.
