speedo issue
Just recently put 17" moabs on my 00' xj and a RE track bar.
Issue:
When driving at 20 MPH, as soon as I let my foot off the accelerator, the speedo jumps to 70 mph. It didn't do this before the track bar installation. WTF?

What had happend is I took it to a local trans shop to have slave and master put in . I got it back and noticed speedo was messed up it would go up to bout 20 then bounce around so I room it back to the shop and they found the sensor was bad and replaced it . Doing fine now . I have never heard of it before so I learned something new

mine was way off but not bouncing because the speedo gear was not set up for the axles in my 2000 when i dropped in a 4.0/ax15/231
put in the original gear from the 2000 and now its only a few mphs off
i have the extra module for a 231 if you want to buy it...

Jomps,
I appreciate the offer and I am seriously considering it. I am unsure if mine definitely needs to be replaced though. Is this the only troubleshooting technique? If it bounces it must be bad?
I will pm you in a few days and we can work out the details. Thanks.

your connection to the housing may be broken as mine is and if i hit a bump the guage goes crazy. if the guage is not accurate you need to get a new speedo gear to put in the housing and it will work fine and they are easy to replace

Now that I think about it, my speedo does feel tight! Maybe that's why I'm losing pressure and there is an awful smell
