Default Have a weird problem... Help

1990 LX 5.0 Mustang

There is a clicking noise coming from behind the gauge cluster, sounds like possibly coming from behind the speedometer, the clicking gets more frequent as the car speeds up, and then reduces as the car slows down.

Any ideas?

Needs to be replaced or just loose or what? Know anyone who can fix it for quick cash? It's annoying.

speedo cable is about 16.99 at advance make sure you get the right one.
