Grease is the wrong lubricant for the speedometer cable. Grease congeals in cold weather, so the cable will turn erratically. Use graphite powder to lube the cable. Also, if you over grease the U-joint, that grease will get into the speedometer cable. As for the speedometer, a very light oil applies sparingly is good. Do not use grease in the speedometer.
