-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

03-06-2012, 01:31 PM #2My speedo wobbles like crazy sometimes, I think its because whatever lubrication is in the cable wears out over time and then it binds for a second until it builds enough force to rotate again, then repeats the whole cycle really fast lol. That's just my guess though

03-06-2012, 01:33 PM #3Never thought of it that way. So could i just spray lubricant down the cable? I always figured iy had something to do with maybe a spring or something inside thr actuale guage

03-06-2012, 01:36 PM #4I was told these cables are sealed on the end, so I'm not sure if they can be lubricated very effectively or not, but its worth a try!! I think some really light oil or even graphite would work best

So i should probably pick up a new cable?

03-06-2012, 04:20 PM #6I still think it would be easier to just try lubricating it or something first
