Bruce,
Robert is spot on about the grease. In fact if the length issue doesn't fix
the problem look at the lube you used on the cable.
I had problems with both a bouncing speedo and shifting on a GMC van.
Turned out both problems were caused by using to "slick" a lubricant on the
cable. From what I found it looks like (no proof) that the grease acts as a
"dampener" on the cable from the tranny to the speedo

Use some white lithium grease to help lube the cable.
Let me know if it helps you. (Just so you don't feel too bad, I had to buy
three cables until I got it right.)
