Can anyone suggest a good Speedo cable lubricate. Ideally a liquid I could let run down inside the conduit after removing it from the speedometer.

I’ve used this because of it’s applicator. I prefer lubriplate and removing the inner cable. I’ve never had a problem putting it back as long as it was disconnected from the transmission. I have replaced the entire cable with one from a speedo shop in Colorado after it failed. It is lined and has a plastic out cover. The wife and I put it in and we are in our last 70’s.

There is a lubricant name Kable-Eaze that I heard about. Bought some and am going to try it. Got it at Amazon.

Does the cable just pull out once you disconnect it from the transmission?

The spiral wire cable does pull out of the housing. It is splined/hex/four sided ends engage the odometer. Some devious folks used to use a reverse drill motor and back up their odometer mileage by removing the cable from the transmission. I have always had good luck with light weight graphite grease, either dry or wet, on the cable. Joe-JDC
