Lube the cable with either graphite or 3in1 oil. Mine did the same thing in the winter months.

Un-do it at the tranny end, and then you can pull the metal cable out of the rubber sleeve. Then lube er up.89SX funtop! Fully loaded!

im amazed that mine didnt with the -20* days we had here this past couple months in MN.
one of my older ones however would do it anytime below 50* lol. lube her up though and it should quiet up. if that doesnt work it may have popped out a little from the back of the cluster and just needs to get pushed back in.1992 Festiva...
