The oval Speedometer was in rough shape originally when I first got the car. I took it apart, cleaned it, lubricated it, and re-stickered everything. After a few hiccups I've got the odometer, trip meter, and speedo "working".

But, the speedometer wheel itself is wobbly as it scrolls up and down in speed. Also, it's intermittently getting hung up at 10 to 15mph (one time 35) as the car decelerates to a stop. If you give it a firm couple taps it come back down to 0 or if you roll over a bump as you're coming to a stop it'll keep moving. It doesn't hang up all the time but will hang up several times during a drive

The odometer and trip meter are working correctly. The numbers move smoothly and continue to register miles even if the speedo is hung up.
