CG,

My electronic speedo in the Fiero clicks the same way, and it always has. What you are hearing are the pulses from the VSS moving the indicator mechanism. I'll bet we aren't the only ones whose speedos make noise. My cable-driven speedo in the TA doesn't. It used to bother me as well, untill I got a louder exhaust and better stereo.

Later,
