Not trying to be a smart arse or anything, But have you tried tapping the dash?

Mine sometimes stays on 0kms then shoots up to what ever im doing (Usually around 60ks).

Did you check the gear on the output shaft, if its plastic it sould be stripped.

Mine sticks at 60km/h. And will jump +/- 10km/h depending on whether i'm speeding up or slowing down. I seriously think there is some shit jamming the needle because everything else is fine.
