I just had a speedometer restored for one of my other cars.  The guy doing the work called me up and explained what was wrong and how much it was going to cost to fix.  In talking he mentioned that the number one cause of speedometer problems comes just from what George was talking about.  The cable pushes in on the yoke and ruins the relationship with the magnet inside.  He says it sometimes comes from a cable being installed that is too long.  What he recommended was just what George was talking about and that is limiting the ability of the cable to push against the yoke inside the speedometer.  The cable is properly seated when the square end engages the speedometer about halfway, it should not bottom out.
