Does yours do this too?

I am talking about my speedo, anything below 40mph the speed arm? judders and ticks making small movements back and forth, very quickly. Then when I reach 40mph its suddenly quiet and smooth?

Have I got a problem or is it normal?

Regards

Could be that the speedo cable is due for replacement or simply in need of some lube. I usually use 3inOne oil. Disconnect the cable from the back of the instrument and gently squirt a few drops inside the cable. It will find it's way down.
May also be that the cable has been disturbed and kinked.

I replaced mine, and it still does it .................... I recon its a worn speedo head, (speedometer).
