<VV> Speedo pain

[Frank DuVal]

Again, if the odometer is working  the gear  in the diff and the cable are OK. 

If the needle quickly goes to 100 then the magnets are caught on the cup. Or the spring is broken. 

Two bad ones is really strange since most are still working. Unless we are talking Spyder speedos. Those are more often bad than good.
