Subject:Speedometer cable problem - jumping

Hello to the list, 

I purchased a replacement speedometer cable from Ken at Vanagain. It�s was
one of those bypass single line units. I had the mechanic install it, but
after it jumped all over. I had another mechanic look at it and he could not
find anything wrong with it.

I seems that any speed below 75 it jumps. I am sure something is off as I
doubt my van can go 75 but this is what the speedometer says at least. Any
ideas on why the cable would be jumping, it basically does a wiggle between
5-10 mph range up to 75 then it stabilizes.

The mechanics looked for kinks but they said there are none.

Thanks in advance.
Robert
