Ive had issues here too with my 2500 - not my '6 tho.. doesn't do enough km
Some noise, but v. jumpy speedo needle.. Firstly went thru the tasks of
re-greasing the cable path all along the cable sheath.... smoothness
improved a little, but no bananas!
Then all speedo registration gave up and left it while I got a few
speeding tickets..
I put a cordless drill on the gearbox end of the cable and this
indicated the issue..
Got another nylon drive gear for the gearbox end and voila... smooth,
(more) accurate speedo.. The other one had obvious wear but still had
teeth . Bad enough to disable the speedo though.
Make sure you top the gearbox back up again as you lose some oil from
the OD when changing over..
cheers
