I got a bottle of sewing machine oil today, i'll pull the speedo back out and and apply the oil at that bushing. Its about to get well below freezing first of the week(21 degress) and i'd like to not have to disconnect the speedometer.

JiveTurkey put oil in that same spot and I think it corrected his issue.
