Can't help you on the proper lube but even though you have new cables,
double check the tip to make sure it's within spec. My new cables were well
out of spec. I got the specs from Morris at West Valley Instruments and
they're posted toward the bottom of this page

An out of spec cable can, at best, cause erratic readings and, at worse,
damage the gauge internals.

Subject: [6pack] lubrication for tr6 speedo & tach cables
New speedo and tach cables while replacing dash. I separated inner and
outer and sprayed inner cables with "Cable Life" by Protectall.
Product is
designed for control cables on snowmobiles, motorcycles, watercraft, bikes
etc., so it works in harsh environments. Should I use something heavier on
TR6
cables, as with luck, I won't be in there again for many years. Manual
ssays
to use light coating of grease. My tach bounced around in cooler Canadian
weather we get in fall. Speedo also bounced. First time I've done
anything
with cables in 12 years of ownership.
Thank you, Bruce Simms
