[T3] Speedometer - Jumpy Needle

["Fuhriman, Mark" <mfuhriman@fugro.com>]

I have a temperature-dependent "jumping needle" case with my speedometer.
When it is warm out (say 85F+) and my speed is under ~20mph, the needle
bounces.  But I don't hear any noise at all from the speedometer.  So I
guess the cable must be getting hung up somewhere between the hub and the
speedometer.   And I never see this in cooler temperatures or at speeds over
20mph.

I know that a bouncing cable usually means that the cable is getting hung up
somewhere and is about to break.  So I am thinking about just replacing the
cable before it breaks.  Since I don't hear anything coming out of the
speedometer, can I assume it is OK?
