Don't know how/if you can adjust it ,but -have you got correct tyres size on your car ? as this would affect what you speedometer shows

Mine does not shake, but it is 10mph out, so i'd like to know the solution as well if at all possible..
I presume it's an import that has been converted like mine.

Speedos mostly read 10% too high, it's to stop you getting pulled for speeding when your speedo indicates all is ok

mine is the opposite,
speed shows 28 mph I am doing 30 mph
shows 45mph im doing 50mph
shows 60mph I am doing 70mph
Mine is a wrx import so I am guessing it is something to do with converting to mph

Or you have the wrong size wheels?

On a Classic? Then that sounds fine.

Yeah its a Classic. It has been the same since I got it.
When I changed the wheels I went from a 45 side wall to a 40. That made little to no difference.
thats why I think it is the mph conversion
