Has anyone had experience with a sticky speedometer?

I have an '86 911, and when the car is stopped thespeedo obviously reads 0 mph. When i begin to accelerate the speedometer remains at zero. With only the slightest tap on the glass covering the speedo gauge - the needle will then jump to life.

Could this be a loose connection of the speedo gauge? Has anyone removed the speedo gauge from the dash? Is this difficult to do?

Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks!
Tyler.

 

Just pull on the gauge, it will come out of the dash. You can check the connections on it, but I am guessing you will need to send it to North Hollywood Speedo for repair.

 

Speedo sticks when you're telling the cop you weren't going that fast! Verrry baaad.

 

Can anyone pass along North Hollywood Speedo's email or phone number?

Thanks
