There was already a post on this that said replace the entire cable.
Well, I would start by checking the little box that counts miles for the
warning light. I had that go bad on my car so I took it apart and greased
the union that connects the two pieces of the speedometer cable. I also
greased the inside of the cable (It should slip out when you get one end
off and can easily be reinserted. That solved my problem with the
speedometer. Of, course now that little box does not work correctly, but
after 160,000 miles I do not think anyone cares.
