Sounds like your cable might need some lube.  I like to use motorcycle
chain lube for this, as it is grease in a solvent carrier.  The thin
grease/solvent goes down the cable, then the solvent evaporates
leaving the grease behind.


If this doesn't fix you up, you might need some lube in the speedo
itself.
