[W126 Coupe] How to fix flaky speedo needle????

I have a speedo needle that works perfectly at temperatures above 40 F.
At temps below 40F (especially when sitting overnight) the speedo will
run 60-70 MPH greater than actual driving speed. After 5-10 minutes the
needle simply drops to the correct speed and works perfectly once again.

Question how is this speedo made up for this year MB and what needs to
be fixed, replaced or adjusted to clear this up?

Thanks in advance.

Problem is on an 86 300SE Euro(126 chassis) and odometer etc. work
perfectly and independent of the speedo.
