i installed the indigo reverse gauges, and my speedomter only works right like 50% of the time (i dunno why, just sometimes it'll work the whole time, other times hwen i start up my car it wont work) ..what it does is the MPH goes smooth to like 30 ..but from 30-50 it only movies about every 7-8 MPH ..normally its like 34-35-36-37-38 ..but when its not working it goes from 34-40.. it always seems to work again when i go past like 65..anyone have any ideas? ..i know i'll have to take apart my whole dash again,but when i do, i kinda wanna know how to fix it first.

check and see if the needle is not rubbing on the face.. I had that problem with my temp and fuel needle. I justy took the face out and then glued it down... works now..
