Check the transmission end of the cable (can do without removing anything if you have skinny-enough arms) to ensure it's still screwed in. If it is, remove it and look at the end. It should have clearly defined tabs sticking out of the cable along the opposite axis. There is a possibility that its the speedo gear in the transmission, too (one 10mm bolt to get that off). If you take that off and/or get a new cable, I'd recommend a new o-ring/gasket for the speedometer gear. If all that looks good, remove the gauge cluster and inspect the other end that goes into the cluster...not sure what it could be there, but it should make itself obvious if that's it.
 
Well the trans was apart not too long ago so i know all that is good. The squeeking i get is behind the cluster. Ive been told thats a cable going bad but wanted opinions.

Oh and my arms are the opposite of skinny.. LOL... im also a bodybuilder
 
Replaced cable now sqeak is gone but speedo is off by 10mph and needle fluctuates a tad... not like before... would it be my cluster? Or do i need to just pop the needle and adjust?
