Solved.
That black stuff around that ring is not grease, like I thought. It is hard rubber and got all messed up when the old speedometer drive froze (the junkyard's drive did not include this piece). I packed it in with paper strips to fill in for the missing rubber, took a test ride, and I am back to reading 60 mph @ 4,000 RPMs.
Let's see how it does during my next part of the trip which is 6 hours, but I'm expecting it to last for quite a while. Being able to see speed and mileage is sure handy on the interstate.
