New cables are available from the dealer or from Mazdatrix (I think, they've got nearly every stock part).

are you sure it's tightly connected?

napa told me the speedo cable for my TII would be a whopping $15. i have yet to order it and yet to find anywhere that can beat their price

check where it screws into the tranny. follow the cable from the engine bay down to where it screws in at, might sure that is tight. also check for any knicks on the cable.

does it only screw up around 25 mph? how do you know the true vehicle speed? dyno?

If its bouncing, more likely the cable is sticky. You can take the cable out and lube it, although by the time you've got it out, you might as well replace it.

plugs into back of insturment cluster and tranny, you can probably get one from the junkyard for about 10 bucks.
