Have you replaced the speedometer cable?  If it frays then it will bind in the
outer housing and after enough tention builds up it releases with a zing!
Usually the needle on the speedometer will wiggle as this is happening.  If it
is you need only replace the core wire in the cable, easy and ~$5.  Good luck.
