Still having Speedo/Odo problem 200 1989

This is one of the most frustrating problems I've ever had.
Here are the symptoms:
When I first start driving the speedo works fine. After about 5 minutes, it starts swinging wildly and soon after just stops altogether... EXCEPT: when I go over a bump and then I get a temporary reading on the speedo.
I disassembled the instrument panel and speedo unit to ensure that all the
connections are solid. I also checked the Sender wire all the way through
the grommet and connectors in the trunk. Could it be the Sender itself, that works only when it's cold?
