My speedo is a little crazy, and 9 MPH over, at 55 MPH (actual speed is 46...).  I took the cable apart, cleaned it of all oil/grease, and then I applied wheel bearing grease along its length, before sliding it back into the outer cable housing.  It improved the performance (reduced the jumping around), but not the accuracy.  I may need to go this route.  Heaven knows what 33-year-old grease (with 22,000 miles on it) will look like.


Thanks for sharing.  Cheers!
