Whats the easiest way to lube speedo cable-72 Charger

My speedo is jumping all over the place, thought I'd try lubing it, is it easier to get to from under dash or disconnecting from tranny? Thanks, Dave

under the  dash , it has a brass collar to stop it sliding down out the bottom , I use white lithium & just spray or rub it onto the cable as you slide it into the housing

Thanks Chryco, I was afraid of that, instrument end on mine is zip-tied on, just ordered new one, do they need to be lubed, or are they prelubed? Thanks Dave

My speedo was doing the same thing, however, it was not the cable.  The speedo need to be rebuilt as the lube on the speedo gears had dried out from sitting for years.  Once I got it back, it worked nicely.
