Speedometer needle shaking?

My speedometer needle has been wobbling around a lot. Any time I accelerate over about 60 mph it starts shaking. It's an older car, a 94 Ford Taurus. It has a new alternator, starter, battery, and battery cables.

The speedometer cable needs lubrication, or it may need to be replaced.

Check for a bad speedo gear in transmission.

Probably bad speed sensor

The drive is cable. The cable is sticking slightly.

Speedometer cable needs lubrication or replacement.

This has a 2 piece cable if i remember correctly. I had a Toreass that mine went bad on. I'm surprised a 94 is still running.

  • What would cause my speedometer not to work on my 2001 ford windstar? Sometimes the speedometer works fine and sometimes it goes up to 20/25mph. Then stops there. All other gauges work fine. I took it to the shop and they replaced a sensor and the whole new speedometer console thing and it still went up to 20/25 mph. And stopped so they put my original parts back on so I didn't have pay for them. They told me to take it to ford dealership. Any ideas will b appreciated Thanks
  • Why does my car speedometer go whackadoodle catywompis a couple of times each year? Every so often my speedometer goes wacky as if it were loose from it's bearings. It will just go flipping all over the place as if being pulled by a magnet. This only happens once or twice a year. I always drive the speed limit so it has nothing to do with driving. It's a 1995 Ford Taurus SW.
  • 2000 ford ranger manual speedometer not working? I just got this truck, runs great but no speedometer. I got my boyfriend to change the magnetic speed sensor on the rear differential but did not fix the problem, the fuse looks good, and the connector under the drivers seat was ok. Does anyone know what the problem could be? All of the other gauges work just fine.
