1] Open hood
2] Locate speedo cable where it exits firewall and goes down to the speed
sensor on top of the tranny [white, if clean, cable at the drivers side rear
corner of the engine. Working backward from the speed sensor is a piece of cable
approx 5" long, then the speedo cable going through the firewall]
3] The speedo cable and the short cable from the speed sensor are joined
with a connection that "snaps" apart. Hold the short piece and give the speedo
cable a good, sharp pull and it will uncouple.
4] Hold the speedo cable up as high as it will go and spray, pour, inject a
lube of your choice into the cable. I've used Tri-Flow with success. If
spraying, wrap a piece of cloth or something around the spray tip and the cable to
get the stuff in there and keep you clean. After lubing spin the cable
innards to work the stuff in. Spray, pour, inject more lube after spinning, maybe
a couple times more.
5] Snap the cables together, close the hood.
This has worked for me, your results may vary
