Re: '94 YJ Speed Sensor
Actually, your YJ does have a speedo cable. Probably dirty or rusty
inside and needs to be cleaned or replaced. Before you do anything, check the length of the cable for any breaks in the casing. Not long ago mine broke loose from its underbody clips and melted on the exhaust, causing erratic needle movement on the dial. I simply cleaned the wound, taped it up, and re-clipped it to the underbody. Works fine now.

Re: '94 YJ Speed Sensor
the speed sensor is on the tcase and sometimes the t case has a plastic gear
that wears out so if you pull the sensor out index it before removing it and look in the tcase with mirror to make sure the drive gear is not stripped out Jeff Strickland wrote: > The speed sensor plugs mechanically into the transfer case near the output > shaft.

Re: '94 YJ Speed Sensor
That brings up another issue. The mount for the speed sensor is an
eccentric, the gear isn't mounted to a pin in the center, the pin is off center to accomodate different gear sizes. If somebody pulled the sensor out at some point, and put it back wrong, then the gear will not mesh well, and the speedo can cut in and out. This would be bad for the teeth too.
