Speedometer on crack......

So every morning for the past couple weeks my car has been making the most god awful noise somwhere in my dash.
The noise grows as I go faster, and quits after about 5 mins.

While this noise is going, my speedometer starts shaking to the beat of the noise, and when the noise stops, so does the speedometer's dancing.

Only in the morning does this happen.
I'm guessing the tempurature outside has everything to do with it.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Any info would be great.........

Thanks :smt023

It is the speedometer cable. You can remove it from the transmission and spray some oil down whatever gap you can. Or just replace it. It is only like $20!

I concur. Speedo cable.

Mine does the same thing when it's cold out.
