Re: Speedo cable chattering in cold

[Mike VanAmburgh <vwvr6r@fiber.net>]

The 89 Scala I had in Germany did it.  It would start out as a chatter
and get louder and louder as speed increased until it was screeching
then would stop making noise at about 45 mph.  Getting stuck in 40 mph
traffic sucked.  :-)  My current 88 16V did it last year, but hasn't
done it yet this year.  

Don't bother changing the speedo cable.  It's in the inner workings of
the speedometer itself.  I changed the cable on the 89 and had the same
results.
