Bouncing Speedometer

[Christian Doerk]

Hi Cadillac Friends,

I already read the following posts and I have the same problem.

• speedometer at dash jumpy and noisy
• 1964 cadillac with cruise control speedometer cable
• Speedometer bounces around

I already lubricated the cable with graphite and tried some other stuff. It worked for a while but now it is just too bad and I need a lower cable for my cruise control speedometer cable. I'm still not sure wich one is damaged, the cable core or the cable hose, but it's the lower/long cable from the transmission to the cruise control unit and not the short from the cruise control to the speedometer.

Long story short, I need a new (or good original) lower/long speedometer cable.

Does anyone of you have one for sale or can anyone suggest a shop where I can get one in good quality?

Thank you in advance
Chris

The lower cruise cable is unique in that it is metal sheathed and keyed at the top where it goes into the speedometer head unit. I had one until a month or so ago and out again. If no one has one I can put you on my Wait List for the next one.

Rock auto has a brand new upper for less than 9 buck Canadian, so about 6 US funds

If you could supply an unbroken inner cable, you should be able to have a new one made up.

yes, Clovis, but I need the long/lower one ;)

I'm still searching for the lower/long cable for my 1964 Fleetwood WITH cruise control. Anybody have an idea where I can get this thing?

A cable without cruise is not a problem to get, even the upper/short cable with cruise, but not the lower...

Mine is a 63 cdv non cruise,,,, would there be one cable on this??  mine bounces occasionally, and after driving a while, it sort of settles down and just sort of bounces,, but I'm just guessing it bounces more when its cold and when transmission heats up it loosens up,, now this is just a guess, but hat is how it seems to act

ok, thanks,,, still a little cold here,,, but will get on some of these projects soon
