Dan,
unplug the connector at the gearbox end and give it a decent cleanup. I had 'bout the same prob as you and the already mentioned connector was the reason...

dhorwich, you should be able to follow the cable from the bulkhead and down through the engine compt and physically just about see where it connects into the gearbox...It's a bit of a b4rsteward to unscrew cos mine has a plaggy thread which is so difficult to thread on when the cable is loading it. Anyway, you should find it no probs once you get down there.

Since yours is an early MY
it will have a mechanical speedo drive
Your conversion from kmh has probably put a reduction gearbox in the cable
(usually somewhere near where it passes the clutch master cylinder, but possibly elsewhere)
Try giving all parts of the cable a bit of a 'wobble' to ensure it has a smooth path etc
Mine also wobbles occasionally, and sometimes clicks, at certain speeds at at certain ambient / underbody tempuratures
