The spedometer on my car is acting wierd. Instead of slowly and smoothly showing a gain in speed, it will jerk and jump its way their. And in it does the same thing when slowing down - it falls with jerks "twiches".
Has anyone else had this problem. -------------------- You only live once...

the needles are probably getting stuck on you indiglo gauges...
take the cluster apart again and try to secure them better with double stick tape -------------------- |

Is the Celica running a Speedometer cable? Or do we have Sensors instead? I think we have a cable.... if the gauges don't fix the problem it might be a poor speedo cable.

Mine used to do that but it starts by not moving at all then like 1-15 minutes later it will jump up randomly, like its getting stuck or something. This was when I bought a cluster from ebay and painted the needles. I don't know if it was like this before or after cus i just painted it when i received it. its not working, I kept tapping the plastic till it got loosened or something.

it turned out that it was the black cap that go's over the pivot point. Do you guys know what i'm talking about? It has a line through it and you have to get it off with a flat head screwdriver. Anyway, thats what was rubing so i jsut took a file and made it a littel skinny, then sanded it out so no one will know!
