depends on the speed..cuz right now my car is a little screwy thanks to timings off and theres a small vaccum leak..it wont spin in 1st gear...and the speedo reads right at that point then i shift into 2nd and it jumps to like 80mph when i'd be lucky to be doing 30mph cuz the tires are spinning.but if its doing it at the higher speeds, when ur are deffinatly not spinning, then its probably the speedo gear or the gauge cluster is busted..
