Default has anyone expericenced the same weird speed reading?

today I drive my teg on hwy 404 from Newmarket to Toronto....I was driving like around 140km/hr all the way until I noticed there's something wrong on the speed meter......the needle drop from 140km/hr to 80km/hr suddenly and back to 140km/hr in 1 sec....and the needle keep moving up and down unstably. The car didn't slowdown or speedup at that time....it just run well in constant speed........
After i slow down the car to around 100 km/hr, the speed meter then back to normal


i took the video from my cell phone see if anyone has any idea...?
click on the link to see it ---> mov00002.3gp

P.S. I've change the GSR cluster

Do the Gen3's use a cable?
if so check both ends to see if there pushed in all the way?
or you need a replacement?

Maybe a problem with the VSS - speed sensor.
