My speedo is not accurate between 60mph and up, the needle goes up but it stick and the needle is not moving if i accelerate or decelrate of 5mph or less ... and when the needle is moving its making a bump.

Do i need to lubricate something or a need to change the cluster

Is there a way to lubricate the needle to move easily or something else ??

Its very annoying to not have the acutal speed, sometime it s near 10kmh of difference + or -

The RPM needle move free and all the others too. I reset my cluster by holding the trip button.

open the cluster up and see if it spins easy with your hand....

Maybe you just have to lift the needle ever so slightly so it wont bind

Has anything been done to the cluster? Aftermarket gauge face maybe?

The clusters in these cars have typically been very dependable.

It s been a long time but here I'm I

I removed my cluster and disassembled everything and inspect all gauge are free but the needle for the speed is not touching to the cluster but when I rotate the needle it stay where I left instead to slow down to its original position.

Is the all four electro-magnet that control are interchangeable ? I could buy a stock cluster and swap the broken part .
