Speedo Cable Chatter in Sub zero Weather

Hi All,

When the mercury drops my 1990 Camry's speedo cable starts to whine and chatter. Back in the day techs would lube the speedo cable. Is this still done?
Any suggestions from the family?

Thanks,

Brian

Might try a graphite based lubricant.

If you can pull out the inner cable lube the length.
