It could me one of many things: bad connection(s), faulty wire(s), VSS going bad, or bad connection in the speedometer itself.
In your cluster when your pull it out of your dash. There are three screws that hold the speedometer to the cluster itself. They also act as a electrical connection for it. I suggest you take a look at it.
I have almost the same problem with my speedometer. The needle just feels like doing whatever it wants sometimes. I'm not sure if its from the heat but it's being doing it for a couple months, it comes and goes when it feels like it.
