Be careful, do not use too much grease. Too much will cause excess friction and the cable will break (been there, done that - a long time ago). I just lubed my speedo cable with synthetic dri-slide from an aerosol container. Cable works fine, no noise, and the speedo needle very steady at all speeds.

Good Luck!
Tom
