herky jerky speedo

[Swazi]

i have a early 06 build tungsten.

i noticed the speedometer has a slight "jerk" in it when slowing down close to zero.

no jerk when speeding up from zero.

just wondering if this is normal behavior.

also would appreciate it if someone can change me to owner from spectator.

Congrats on the new car Monk! I was at the dealer when you picked it up. That must have been a great 300mi. first test drive. I wonder if I had the same "Christmas morning" look on my face when I got mine. :biggrin

stevea, the drive was awesome. much better to start off with 300 mile drive to accelerate the break in process. still have the smile on my face too.

monk,

My 2005, #1877, does the same thing! I thought is was normal. Today I will try and video record anr/or use my new OBD-II data logger to see what the car "thinks" is going on so others may see what this problem looks like. I think that there are more cars like this, except you must be looking at the speedo, at just the right moment to notice this. Jay

took my chair-women of the bod to Yosemite today, lunch at the Ahwahnee hotel, hardly any traffic, did dodge a deer or two./././... never got below 20mph so I didn't notice the herky jerky speedo... we had to much fun.
She is in the garage detailing the GT.....not, just dreaming for a minute :biggrin


Hey GT-Joey, just discovered some vintage lock deicer and my ice scrapper from my Chicago days, should I Fedex'em to you buddy? :biggrin :lol :wink

I think that you guys are missing his point. He's trying to see if this is normal behavior. If my car did that and everyone else's didn't, then it goes back to the dealer for repair.
