Sure it`s an easy fix, just bring it over, your just around the corner aren`t you, and I can tell exactly what it is without looking at it. It could be a speedo cable needing lube (most common) or the gear in the tailshaft, or the speedo head itself. Get on your back under the steering wheel and stick your hand up behind the speedo and unscrew the cable , pull out the inside cable an use a very LIGHT grease, or oil on the cable and reinsert it and reconnect it. Some people prefer to remove the inst cluster and do it, That lets you replace all the burnt out #194 dash bulbs

sounds like you have a bad speedo gear ( a little plastic gear in the transmission that the speedo cabl hooks up too) if it has a broken or chipped tooth this wouls cause the jumping.

Lube the speedo cable...dealers have speedo cable lube for sale or use something that does not thicken in cold weather.
