You have a dying spedo cable. There are 2 cables. One from the tranny to
the OX warning light box. The other one from the box to the cluster. Its
hard to pinpoint which one it is that is going bad. 50% - 50% guess. Id
replace the longer cable first. Its easier to replace. If that doesnt fix
the bouncy cable, then its gotta be the shorty cable. 
HTH!
