The only real remedy is replacing with a reconditioned gearbox, so it depends how much of an issue it is day-to-day whether you decide to do this or not.
Apparently people have seen temporary improvements by changing the gearbox oil and/or adding some kind of additive to the oil.
The speedo not working sounds like a speedo cable issue, as detailed above.

Gents thanks for the response.

Probably around ?350-450 or more. Or you can take your chance with a secondhand box, these typically go for ?50-100. A garage would normally charge ?80-200 to swap a box (varies a lot between garages). If you're swapping the box, it would make sense to look at the clutch and replace this if worn, so add around ?50 or more for this too.
