Disconnect the speedo cable and 90 degree gear drive from the speedo and each other. Then cut about 3/16" off the end of the cable and carefully deburred the end. After reassembly the cable head will now screw all the way onto the gearbox and not wobble. Take the car out for a test and what do you know - a rock solid speedo needle. NO MORE WOBBLE...

Great idea, Blas; I had it myself! I also tried lubing the cable (worked for awhile), rerouting the cable (ditto), putting a spacer between the connector and the adapter on the speedo (ditto) AND chopping a little off the end of the cable. They all worked for me for awhile, but the jumping needle returned. I know there's a slight kink in the cable, which is the major culprit, but I really think the additional 180° of bending of the cable, especially in two tight radius bends, is a major factor.
