Check the speedo plug under the car, could be loose/dirty.
Other than that, the gears inside the speedo unit itself may be wearing out.

Under the car, you will see a red tube with three wires in it. There will be a plug about halfway down the box joining one half (from the speedo sender) to the other half (to the body loom). This can get wet, dirty, or just plain loose and cause symptoms like what you describe.
