ja_racing Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Have a 88 mj speedometer jumps while going 30 jumps from 25-35 thought it was the speedometer cable installed new one and still the same any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 The inner cable that spins is probably to long. This happened on my Eagle after I put in an after market cable. I fixed it by grinding the end of the inner cable down about 1/8 of an inch with a flap disc on an angle grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Both ends of my after market cable were metal so I could trim either end. I trimmed the speedo end. But if yours has a plastic tip on the speedo side like they were from the factory trim the t case side. Also do you have cruise control? If you do then you should have a 2 speedometer cables a short and a long. If you don't have cruise then you will only have one long one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Also don't just trim off an 1/8 inch in one go. Just do a little at a time and then test it out. It may take a few tries but it is the safer way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pizzaman09 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I've had this jumping around issue since I installed cruise control. I'll have to try out shortening the inner cable some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's possible to slide the inner cable out of the sheath, wipe it down with a light, non-hardening grease or a quality synthetic oil. Second, check the routing of the cable. Often, jumping is a result of a tight radius bend somewhere in the routing of the cable beteween the speedo and the transmission or transfer case output.
