Noisy Speedeometer

When it gets cold, the speedometer in my 1997 Subaru Impreza Sport clicks loudly. When it first started, the needle would sort of “flicker” in the and seemed to not engage to register the actual higher speed in which I was traveling. After the car warms up, though, the clicking subsides and the speedometer seems to function just fine. Is this due to a faulty speedometer or a loose or worn out speedometer cable?

It’s been a long time since I had to do one but lubricating the cable with liquid graphite was the cure aside from replacing the cable. Be careful, that stuff stains everything, including you.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.
