SpecialEducation Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Sounds familiar... This was a brand new speedo cable. Didn't last 100 miles. IMG_5216.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The speedometers fit from all models Buick 1956. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemon Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Sometimes after sitting, the weight of the speedo barrel causes it to get stuck on the magnet ring. You might be able to pull it yourself and get it free rolling just with a little cleaner. I paid $150 to have someone do a 10 minute fix because I didn't know any better. Any junkyard replacement you find won't be in any better condition. I would look for a speedometer repair guy in your local area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buicknutty Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I had similar troubles with mine, and I ended up having it rebuilt, by Scott Speedometer Service. Not cheap, but it has been perfect since then, plus it is now quite accurate, which it never was in all of the years I drove it. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
