My speedo dont work

Hey guys my speedo speedo just sticks, it goes up very very slowly, stop, and stay there, as soon as I pull the cable off it drops an I can spin the speedo with my figers it works. The needle bounces if I spin the gear. Any ideas? Thank you.

After 30+ years probably needs to be cleaned and lubricated.

Unhook the cable from the speedometer like you did before. The cable should pull out of the housing. Check for any kinks or fraying. Clean cable with a solvent. Lube - I use a white lube. And put back together. Also a good idea to check housing around transmission to make sure not kinked or resting on exhaust.
