Thanks Guys! I did get under the car last night and massaged at a few visible kinks with the inner cable pulled out the top. It must be the cable as everyone suggests, as now it is much better. Will probably buy a new cable from Bob's when I put together a wish list of other items. That way when I have hoist space (much easier than laying on the ground) we will replace the cable.

Can anyone conjecture on the most likely cause of the speedo in my '41 Super to make intermittent noise and whip to 120mph and back down repeatedly? Is the issue inside speedo or small kink in cable? Thanks, Ivor

I got the cable-core out, then cleaned & lightly lubed the bottom third. I put it back together and it's the same. Even going as slow as 25 or 30MPH the speedo makes an intermittent shrieking noise and whips up to 120 and back. It is a little worse actually as before I had to be on the fwy to notice it. There is a mild 'kink' or bend to the outer cable about 7" from the transmission (I could feel a resistance here as I fed the lubed core back in). What I'm wondering if based upon other's experience, if it is time for a new cable or to take the speedo out and clean/lube/recondition. (probably should have asked this question before I chased after cleaning the cable...) Thanks again, Ivor

Thanks so much guys! I'll get her up in the air and get the transmission side unfastened. Ivor

Hi all, I'm the new owner of a '41 Super. Thanks to this thread, I have my gauge panel loose, the speedo cable disconnected from the back of the head and I would like to lightly lubricate the inner cable (core). It seems like it may not come out in this direction and I do not want to break anything. Can anyone tell me if it should come out in the direction and I just need to pull a bit harder or should I actually be under the car at the transmission side? Thanks, Ivor
