i started noticing the problem a couple months ago when i would start off the speedometer wouldn't work until i got to around 30-40 mph then it would jump back up to "correct" speed, and ever since the beginning everyone has commented that the speed my speedometer displays is wrong i'm thinking about a 10-15 mph difference between actual speed. Any information on what to do would be appreciated esp. if its something i can do myself. TIA

Does the Max have a speedometer cable, could be sticking?!
