TR2/3/3A Speedometer cleaning ?

Does anyone have a link to cleaning the odometer gears in the speedometer? I've heard that those gears can stick and I think that is the issue with the speedo needle sticking at 20mph.
 
Tony Rhodes has an excellent guide for working with the speedo (last link on this page):

...I think that is the issue with the speedo needle sticking at 20mph.

I believe you'll find that the needle sticking at 20 mph is completely unrelated to the any odometer issues.

The odo lube would be a little on the gears and (most importantly) in the little cup hidden on the shaft of the odo (quite a bit of disassembly needed for that one).

The needle sticking is probably the drag cup binding.
