So the speed gauge in the dash and the speedometer cable have been replaced. Well, the only thing left to my knowledge would be the geared speed sensor in the transaxle.
I have the same problem. Replaced the speedometer cable but to no avail. I then took the speedometer out and used an electric motor to drive it on my bench and noticed that the part that is driving the needle (driven by a magnet) starts vibrating at certain speeds. On further investigation I found that the bush on the panel that the spindle goes through ( just behind the needle) is worn and hence the spindle/shaft does not run tight and starts vibrating/rattling and then it sometimes swing up and down. When I lightly touch the needle it stabilizes for a while and then starts vibrating again. The needle is not driven directly, but through a magnetic coupling so the slightest interference can cause problems. It seems the only solution is to replace the speedometer. Unfortunately you have to replace the whole cluster. I thought I could do something about the bush, but it is too delicate and you will have to remove the little coil spring which means the speedometer will have to be re-calibrated.

Where can you find wiring diagrams specifically the speedometer for a 1995 subaru legacy station wagon?
The speedometer is fed by two wires (one black one white wire) from VSS 2. This pair works its way through multiple connectors to pins 2 and 3 on a 3-pin connector in the back of the combo meter (i11, all three pins next to each other). The wires maintain their color all the way to the instrument cluster according to the shop manual. The speedometer then feeds a green wire with black stripe that exits the combination meter. This wire finds its way to both the TCU and cruise control according to diagrams. This wire is on pin 10 of connector i10 (light gray, 16-pin, each pin next to the other) at the combination meter. There is a wire that leaves the speedometer circuit for ground, for four connections in total.
