I have been having trouble with my speedo registering correctly. When in park it usually registers 20mph. When moving, it reads 10 to 20 mph higher than the actual speed. If speed goes above 70, the speedo sticks there and doesn't lower until I get back below 30mph. The odometer and trip odometer seem to work fine - I know that can be a problem on Mustangs. Not sure if it is the speedo cable, the instrument cluster, or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It Could be the speedo cable. I think there is a speedo gear that goes into the transmissions. I had to have it replaced on my 95 Cougar when its a 5 speed transmission that i swapped in from a 96 mustang. its a plastic piece that spins and sometimes the teeth on the gears break. if thats the issue its really not expensive and is a quick fix. cheap too!!
Thanks for the feedback. Another member had some good info regarding electrical checks I could do too. It was very detailed but I have not been able to try those things since my convertible is in storage now. How can I get that information back? I originally had 2 identical posts and it must be that the other one was deleted along with those posts. Any assistance here would be great!!
