bouncing speedo

hey guys. ya its mr questions again.lol. anyways, my speedo bounces bad. like a 40mph bounce. I have pulled the cable and lubed it up really good and hooked up to the speedo and my portable drill hooked to the cable, lil bitty twitch. so, I thought, maybe the speedo gear on the sending unit was bad. pulled it, its a metal gear with no visible wear. so now, I am stuck. what could it be??? coulthe speedo cable still be binding up????? I did notice that where the square shank on the cable goes into the speedo, its a lil deformed. looks like the cable should sit down in the hookup on the speedo more. would that cause the bounce????? could it not be sitting in there right and causeing it to bind up?????
I also posted this in the y-block forum part on accident.

Did you lube both ends? In the head good, with something like white lithium?

Even a slight twitch will cause the speedo to bounce.
Replace the cable and housing.
