1990 Ford Mustang Notchback Making Noise - Drive Train & Driveline

Question: Took the car in for an emmisions test to a questionable/stuggling shop where the techs can get under the car, and the car is put on a dyno. Car passed with flying colours, but now the speedo is ticking/buzzing at all speeds. Did it once before a couple years ago, but not this bad, and not this loud. Fix? I will look under car to look for sabotage, but don't know if the speedo just crapped out after the tires slipped a lot on the wet dyno drums, or .. What to look for ?

Technican: Hi, Look for a dry or crimped speedo cable. This cable runs from the transmission to the dash. If it is dried out or crimped, a new one is not expensive. Sometimes oiling or straightening the cable may help.
Owner: The car had no prob befoer the dyno test, and I have no idea what to lube or what to do it with, . but abuse of the car is not a possible option? More choises and other possibilities would go a long way to hel[p me out, as I will get under the car to look at damage if it is there. More ideas please.
Technican: If the cable is dry, I either remove one end, work some motor oil in the cable and blow it with air to force it through. The ideal way is to take both ends off and then it is easier to work the oil through the whole length. The only likely cause for damage at the repair shop would be if the cable got bent, or positioned wrongly.
