Steven,
I had a similar problem in my AMC AMX years ago, the fix on it was to
shorten the inner cable by about an 1/8", as the heat from my exhaust
worked on the cable it world grow in length just enough to bind in the
outer cable, or force the drive wheel against the free wheel inside the
speedo. I've also noticed while rebuilding the speedo and tach from my
TR3 that any prelude against the drive in the back of my tach will make
it run erratically i.e.: to long a inner cable. Just my $0.02 worth.

Subject: cold weather fixes TR4 speedo
Well I just wanted to put in a plug for Mother Nature and her
under appreciated seasons. I've enjoyed toasty feet each
morning for the past week -- I have no complaints about the
TR4 heater... after years driving old jeeps. But not only that,
my speedo has stopped bouncing during my morning
commute. Sure, it bounces again for the warmer drive home,
but I'm sure the afternoons will be cold soon too -- and I can
leave sorting out the speedo cable till next Spring. <g>
