My girlfriends moms husband RLhas a speedo issues. It reads fine untill you hit about 20mph then it jumps by 40mph. Anyone have an idea why it does this or what it could be? Its a 96 RL.

Thanks.

It sounds like you might have to change the whole gauge cluster. You can probably find one for about 100 to 200 dollars used.
