I have found that noises and sticking in the Type 3 speedo can be affected by axial play in the bushing/bearing where the cable attaches. Tugging or pushing the cable in changes the behavior, and I suspect there is not supposed to be that kind of play. I also suspect this is one of the subtle issues that Jim knows to look for and fix. I?ve been lucky that mine is minor and is solved by the push/pull (finding the sweet spot), but a proper fix is the right way.
