    Pull the cable out clean it and regrease, start at the elbow out of the gearbox though.

    Or the other way around, pull the cluster off and drive around watching the cable spin round-round...maybe not such a good idea, as you should be watching the road

    Deal with it perhaps.

    You have to realise that you're dealing with 25+ yo cars. You can grease things as much as you like, but half the time the gears associated with the speedo are too warn fix.

    instead of dealing with it you could try the first recommendation.

    like golberg said half the time stuff is worn. but the other half the time you can actually fix things but with a little time and effort.

    remember just cause a car is 25yo doesnt mean it isnt repairable. otherwise every answer to a tech question should be "its 25 yo deal with it"

    also a little bit of grease on the gears in the cluster is helpful.
