'89 fuel gauge not working

[Type X(J)]

any of you guys/gals know how to go about fixing the 240's fuel gauge? it just stuck 1/4 of a way b4 empty. I've filled it up, shook the car side to side and it still does not work. It happened after my second autocross event, i'm thinking i shook it a lil bit and something came loose during one of my runs.

its probobly in the sending unit, the float may be bad or somthing or the float may be catching on somthing

S13:

Remove back seats, any carpeting behind the seats, you'll notice the top cover of the assembly with wires going to it. Remove the top cover, and you'll see 3 lines with a bolted down plate. Remove lines (fuel will come out) and unbolt the assembly. Pull entire assembly out of the tank.

Remove the lines, and the 2nd cover by using a hammer and a screwdriver to twist off the ring. Pull out the wiring assembly. Now you need to reach towards the front of the car (towards headlights) inside the tank and towards the passanger side. You can follow the wiring for the level indicator as a guide. The fuel pump has only 2 wires going to it and should be the clip that's closest to you.
