Most speedo issues are related to kinks in the outer metal sheath.

Most of the time a new cable will fix that problem.

When removing the cluster, the cable should be disconnected from the trans 1st. And the tie straps removed as well to allow the cluster to come out far enough to unscrew the cable.
