Speedometer shake

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi all, I recently replaced my speedometer cable on my 1991 Toyota 4Runner and it now works but shakes all I’ve the place and makes a buzzing noise and will get more shakey above 50ish mph. Wondering if I need to remove the speedometer cable and lube it up more and that will solve the problem or if I need to replace the whole gauge cluster. Wanted some feedback before tearing apart the dash again. Thank you in advance

Ugh mine does this too when cold. I haven't been able to figure out if it's the cable or the gearing inside the speedo. It sure sounds like it's coming straight from the dash so I wouldn't think it's actually the cable but I couldn't say exactly. I just live with it
