RE: broken speedometer

We had, or rather still have, the same problem with our speedo/cable. As 
has already been suggested, we disconnected and lubed ours along its 
entire length with Vaseline and it seemed to work for the first 10 miles 
or so, but soon after the needle started jumping around and squealing 
again.
We got our trans shifter cable re-made as it got burnt through, so we 
sent the speedo cable off to the same company (over here in the UK) for 
checking at the same time. They said they could find nothing wrong with 
it so we now think it must be the speedo itself.
We've now bought a spare instument cluster and are now going to have it 
checked/rebuilt/restored by Autoinstruments. Hopefully that will cure 
the problem! (for now tho, we've cured it by disconnecting it!)

Good luck with yours.
