Unhappy Speedo bounce!(video)

so this is what my jeep speedo does. the gas gauge works fine(i have low gas i know) and the idiot lights worked perfect and my aftermarket gauges work perfect but the speedo wont. mind you i kept it about 40 mph the entire time. and sorry for the bad quality.

what do you guys think?

if the sensor on the gear and the gear itself is good then the speedo head has a problem. Best to just junkyard or ebay one.

so i would just like to state that what ever i did when i had it out(cleaned all of the oil off of it and sprayed electrical cleaner in the connectors and took an ear swap to it all) fixed the problem! took it down the same road and did all of the fun stuff and it was fine! =] thanks again for the input!
