I've seen lots of speedo issues, but I haven't found one for my situation yet.
I have been running a 32 tooth gear and my speedometer has been dead on. Been that way for months. I just installed a SYE kit with a new rear driveshaft. I triple checked to make sure the gear housing is indexed properly, inspected the teeth, made sure I installed the blue gear on the new SYE shaft and both snap rings are there, made sure the electrical connector is good and tight...
Here's the problem: My first test drive after installing everything didn't show a speed until I hit about 15mph, then it suddenly jumped up and bounced around a bit before settling down. It reads now, but it's not accurate anymore. It shows about 5mph slower than actual speed at 45mph. The other weird part is that the speed bounces +- 5mph while I'm driving a steady speed. I even tried cruise control, and it wreaked havoc. The throttle was surging because it was getting fluctuating speed readings. The fluctuation is constant.
Does anyone have an idea of what would cause this? The only thing different I can think of is that new SYE shaft with the new blue gear. But why would that cause these new issues when they didn't exist before? And throw off the accuracy?
Thank you
