My speedometer is not working on my 88 noch, the dude i bought it from said it might have something to do with a magnet somewhere, but i dont know if its the cable or what, i dont know much about fixing that kind of thing, any input will be great, thanks.

It maybe that the speedo gear is worn out. The cable goes into the side of the tranny you can unbolt it and pull the assy out and inspect the gear teeth,
