I'm not a tech... but are you sure about that?
Here's the cable for it:

I have a shaky speedo on my 201, and my reseach on this site indicates that it's a common problem on these cars. Some have corrected it temporarily by
lubing the cable, but the consensus seems to be that
replacing the cable is worth the reasonably small expense for the permanent fix.
Again, I'm not tech, and have no first had experience in this particular matter -- (I haven't done anything about mine -- I just haven't got around to it.) -- so please correct me if I'm wrong.
