Needle bounce is usually a cable problem though it could be related to your
sticky right angle drive. I would soak it while turning the gear to clean it
out or spray it out with WD40. You will have to repack it with grease. I
don't know if cleaning a really worn right angle drive could make it worse
(jam). I doubt it.

I have my speedometer out of the car while I am lubricating the the
cable. I noticed that the right-angle drive seems to be pretty stiff.
Is there any way I can disassemble it to clean it out and lube it? There
seems to be a dime-sized cover on one side that has a notch, but I can't
get the cover out. Any hints, or am I better off just soaking the whole
assembly?
While I am at it, when I drive, the needle on the speedometer fluctuates
over a 20 mph range. While I have the speedo out and on my desk, is
there any area I could clean/oil to have a 'normal' speedometer?
Thanks in advance,
