Back to the subject at hand
. . . it appears that lubing the cable with graphite and the spacer on the reverser end of the cable did some good. Still bobbles some at low speed but above 20 mph or so it settles into a fairly consistent +/- 1/2 to 1 mph jiggle - which is probably about as good as it gets and as good as it started out. My thinking is since it still swings a little at low speed, there might be a little binding still in the cable or reverser that I can smooth out. So, as I have time I will probably give the cable a second dose of dry graphite and work on the cable routing a little. If I can find some valve lapping compound I will try to clean and lap the reducer gears and lube it up again. When and if the plastic gear goes out - I'll replace it.
Thanks for all the suggestions and leads.
