    Mine did before I replaced the speedo cable. I pulled the inner cable (from the transmission end) a couple of times to lube it because it was squeaky when cold, but I got sick of messing with it and just replaced the whole cable.

    Mine did before and after replacing the speedo cable. Replacing the cable did improve it a little though.

    pretty normal for old cars. you could grease the speedo cable if you wanted, but it really doesnt hurt you. mine does it especially if its cold.
