Those Fix-or-replace-daily Mustangs had a habit of getting a "kink" in the cable at the side of the trans. New cable is the answer.
The problem was caused by jack-rabbit starts, but you wouldn't be guilty of that, now would you.

The 68's have a mechanical cable that runs from the transmission to the back of the dash into the speedometer. Just unplug it and plug in a new one.

In my 74 ranchero 460gt I had to take it loose at the speed odmeter and spray wd40 into it. do it soon or you'll be lookin for another. you gotta get some lubrication to the cable inside the speedometer line before it binds up and breaks.
good luck.

graphite down the tube should lubricate it and keep it spinning smoothly
