You are supposed to pull plastic sleeve off the speedo head as you squeeze the retaining clip.

Sounds like you didn't line up the cable insert properly.

Glad I came across this because in a few minutes I was going to go install my new speedo cable. I was wondering about the grease on the inside also.

They make speedo lube made specifically for speedo cables and it comes in small tube.
