If it's a "blip ... blip ... blip ...", then the plastic speedo drive gear on the output shaft has a chipped tooth.
If it's the constant wobble, it's probably the speedo cable that has a slight kink or a rough spot.
My '88 had the blip (about once a second at 65) and, on the few times I tried using cruise control, it followed the speedo. It was sort of like riding a camel. You could see the boost gauge follow the cruise control's attempt to compensate for the momentary loss in measured speed.
I haven't opened that tranny yet, but I'm sure that, when I do, I'll find that speedo drive gear chipped.
Someone wrote about the chipped tooth a few years ago. It's an easy replacement once you get the left side inner driver off.
