Speedometer problem

My speedometer was jumping from 60-70 when traveling at about 60 and then it started reading way off like when driving at like 35 it would say i was doing 70 and as I would pick up speed it would also climb....my tires are really close to stock. This only started about 3 weeks after i lowered my truck and i took out the cable and greased it just for kicks and that didn't help. Anyone else have this problem or know what is causing this to happen? I would like to get it fixed cause the trip meter is my gas guage since its definatly a mazda. Thanks for any response

Guess this hasnt happened to anyone?

iv never heard of anything like that. sorry man-bf

perhaps the cable isn't all the way in the cluster, or the gear on the end of the cable is stripped? i was going to guess the cable was binding up in the housing, but since you said you already greased it.... hmm...

ya my dad said the bouncing would be the cable binding and then breaking loose so thats why i greased it. If the gear is stripped wouldnt that mean that it would read slowerr instead of faster? Ill have to check and see if its in the cluster all the way.

hmm logic would say yes... dunno what i was thinking. musta forgot that part of the question. just an idea?

Its all good man...ya saw speedo problem and named anything that could be wrong

hey watt i tell ya what, iv got a broken cable on mine right now, just cut in 1/2 and qip tired together because it made a horrible whine noise, and you can have the end off of it of you wana switch it out or something. -bf

well see 2 maro i am gonna look at the cluster see if the problem is there.

how did you go about greasing it? and what kinda grease did you use?
