They are basically wore out. The needle bounces around and is not accurate one of them the needle is broken off from it bouncing.

is it possible that the inner cable is catching/releasing inside the outer cable sheath which up top is making the needle jump & causing the issues? EDIT I'd either in the car or on the bench rig up a short inner "square" cable to connect the two & run it with a drill & see how it acts
