While driving in the US the speedo needle of 6513 bounced up and down from 65 to 75. Never could know the real speed, if I didn't have my nav system in the car. Even after DMCH did grease the angle drive.
Bouncing is gone now, after I have greased the lower and upper cable.

So you may want to do that first. I used bicycle bearing grease which is softer than bearing grease for cars. You could try that.
