Exclamation 2001 3.0L Bouncing Speedometer

I have a 2001 Ford ranger 3.0L 4x4 manual with a bouncing speedometer. I put a new speed sensor in the rear end and have also changed out the whole cluster. It normally bounces around 30mph no matter what speed but sometimes goes a little higher. Need Help

I'm pretty sure the speed sensor is in the transfercase
