exactly what the topic says. I already searched and found different answers on this problem i am having. someone said its the magnet in the speedometer and others say to just buy a new cable. does anyone have a real answer on this issue, i cant be the only one who had this mechanical problem. So, ya like no matter what my speed is, its like the speedometer is x2 the speed that i know i am going. someone please help me, this is driving f**king crazy!!!

okay so this is what i discovered. I also have a airbag diagnostic module that needs replaced because the airbag light flashes 10 times...so I crawled under the dash and found the larger of the two baby blue modules, lol it says Ford real big on it of course, then i decided to locate my speedo cable and once i did i gave it a very light tug and the darn thing came right out from the cluster as if it was never connected all the way. I looked inside the plastic coupler and all i see is a plastic rectangular peg, is there something else that is suppose to be there? I mean come on a little plastic peg turns the speedo?

yep, the speedo gear in the trans spins that.
does your speedo bounce/shake at all?
it guess it's possible you have the wrong gear installed in the trans, i dont see how the cluster would double the speed, i think it's still mechanically linked, but I know the signal is converted digitally IIRC.
