fj-80 speedo

My wifes speedo gauge when cold goes extremely high 90-100mph. Easy fix? If we turn off the a.c. its better but still not accurate.

It's the 91, right? The speedo is cable-driven.

I'm willing to bet that the cable is loose. It ties into the left side (US Driver's Side) of the Transfer case, behind the transmission.

The speedometer itself could be bad and need replacing...

I remember on my old Bug, when it would get cold, the cable would shriek and the needle moved around like crazy.

x2. Loose cable was my first thought, but the OP already checked that.
