Be careful if you purchase one. The flex circuit is really prone to fail due to the traces breaking. I recommend also adding an external ground from the circuit to a good ground behind the dash.

 

Welcome to the group... You have obviously ruled out the speedometer drive cable from causing the problem, so do you actually want a complete cluster or just the speedometer to replace the one you have currently...

 

​​​​​any idea what causes failure & is it visible
if i test it & ship a good one can we expect it to get installed & work or are they delicate ?
Hav better things to do then ship dissapointnents all over....

 

You also have to be aware that there are several different clusters available from year to year reflecting differences in the actual speedometers and tacks... There are color differences in the tachs as well as number differences on the speedometers... Examples of two speedos are shown below with different number arrangements... Any of these should work in your 87, it will depend on how correct you want to keep your 87... If possible post a photo of your cluster... The speedo and/or cluster shown below are for sale if you are interested...

 

The speedometer works but the odometer does not once in while it will move 1 or 2 numbers but not very often.

 

I dont have my cluster out yet but can I change just the speedometer?

 

Yes you can change the speedometer only...

 

cool I will take it out tomorrow then send you a pict of what I need.

 

 

That speedometer that you showed me is the one that I need ,what is your location? I am in London Ontario ,how can I buy that speedometer from you ? Can you call me at 226 378-3336

 

Sorry, but I only do US shipping... It would seem that someone in your area should have a speedometer for a G-Body, or it's possible some other member here may do out of country shipping and can accommodate your needs... Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, but had I known your location, which was not referenced anywhere in your post, I would not have posted as I did other then to provide information to assist you without offering any items for sale...

 

Ok no problem thanks for the information.

 

Hi I was just wondering why you dont want to send that speedometer to Canada ,I would be paying all costs to get it here ,plus the price for the item please respond to ease my mind or if you prefer you could call me ,my phone number is in other responds Thank you

 

I simply don't do foreign shipping because I don't want to deal with the extra documentation and the foreign banking systems, basically waiting for foreign checks/money orders to clear my bank... As it stands, I simply use the USPS exclusively due to the fact I receive USPS Money Order payment and cash it at the Local Post Office (which immediately approves the funds) while shipping the package at the same time... I don't have to go to the bank to deposit the payment, wait several days for funds to clear, and then make a second trip to ship the package... Before you ask, no I don't use PayPal or any other electronic payment system... Hope this eases your mind...

 

Ok No problem I will have to keep looking thank you

 

Hey John, would you be willing to accept payment Via E-transfer? It saves the double trip you were concerned about, you don't have to wait for any funds to clear its there as soon as it notifies you. And if I recall, your only 8-9 hours away from me, so Canada isn't really all that foreign. I'm quite certain that USPS should come to here, and im sure the banks should be able to work together.
