Larry W Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I noticed the other day that my speedometer needle is sticking from a take off. It jumps after I reach a speed of 5-10 mph to the correct speed and works normally any other time. What is the remedy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee365 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 1: Wack the top of the dash over the gauge cluster when it sticks. 2: Take cluster apart and wipe excess lube off of the needle rest with a q-tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee365 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 First of all, lay off the caps dude. And you won't get any replies spamming like that... Do some searching and quit spamming the forums, it's really rude. You have 3 posts, all of which are on this same thread. You joined 2 months ago and had nothing to add to the forum but your capital letters and demanding help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will p Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I have a 1999 LS 400 and it just started doing the same thing. My question is the speedometer electrical or mechanical? If it is electrical, could the sending unit on the transmission be going bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve2006 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 This is a known problem and is due to excess lubricating oil on the needle spindles drying out over time and mixing with dust making it more viscous.The suggested remedy is to strip out the pod remove the plastic front and gently remove the excess oil with a cotton bud (UK) Q-Tip (US) The speedo is electrically driven there is no cable drive involved Follow the link below and look at post # 59 http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls400/225935-how-to-fix-your-speedo-needle-when-it-does-not-work-4.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
