Annoying Speedometer Noise at Cluster

I'll get under the dash and see what I have going on. I removed and replaced the cluster and the noise just showed up. I dont know how I would have caused a bind. I will check anyhow though.

The WD-40 is not a great cable lube, I realize, but even to that end, it should have at least made a dent in the noise. Changed it a little, stopped it for a few miles. something......

I have pulled it a few months back and it slides in & out easily. It is dry though. thats when I applied the WD in hopes of changing it. I will procure a better lube and it will get a righteous lube this week. The cable looks to be in great shape.

MoparPhil, your answer seems to make the most sense to me. I only say that because I had the cluster out for a couple days. When I reassembled everything, nothing bound, everything went right back in to place without a fight. If it had any lube in it whatsoever, I think it might have run out while it was sitting in the floorboard. Even if I have to pull it back apart, I will. I just need to figure out how to get lube into the speedometer assembly.

Thank you for all the answers guys. I will mess with it this week as weather allows and report back if/when I find something.
