Speedo Jumping?
Going down the road my speedo is jumping like a big fish on a fishing pole i will be going 60 and it will drop to 40 and flicker back and forth from 20-60 then goto zero and stay for a few then jump back up and just flicker all over from the speed iam going all the way down...its weird...all my other gauges are working fine but the speedo is crazy...
gimme 5 mins i will have a video up..

I'd check the connector at the OSS sensor to see if it is loose or if the pins inside are wet and/or corroded. The OSS is the speed sensor on the extension housing of the transmission. The wiring goes from there directly to the PCM. The corrected signal is a straight shot from the PCM to the cluster interrupted only by the large bulkhead connector near the parking brake pedal. If the cluster has ever been off, you can check the connectors on the back to see if they are secure.

Like I said, the OSS is in the extension housing of the transmission. The wire colors are gray/red and blue/yellow.
