this is why you don't tamper with stock guages

either you damaged the guages or put the needled on wrong, if they move you got the on wrong, if they don't move you broke the guages and need a new cluster

a former associate of mine had a similar problem. the portion that had the rpm white face gauge was warped and the needle on the speedo side was push on too far, so the needle would bind/rub on the face. the other needle worked. had to get another set for it to work.
