speedo & tach issues

My speedo has been flaking out lately between 60-70mph. It like gets stuck at 60, then once I get over 70 it jumps up real quick. Could this just be the cable, or is there a gear in the tranny that might be bad?

Also my tach has made this noise right around 3000rpm ever since I bought the car. Hard to explain the sound, not really a squeak, more like water running out of a faucet, if that makes sense. Any ideas on how to fix it?
