need cluster help... Ever since i installed my cluster overlay, my needles are off. both the tach and speedo are a tiny bit lower than they really are, and the speedo needle does not move smoothly- it stops & goes stops & goes. The 4 other guages are fine.
Whats the best way to put the needles back so they work like from the factory?
Thanks.

They need to be calibrated. It is possible to do it yourself, but it's a pita. The speedo needle is probably pushed too far down on the needle it slips over.

i fixed it!
I took the glass off, and drove to a street that has a radar display. I did 30mph and saw how off it was compared to the radar, and adjusted it. For the rpm, I know the car idles at 500rpm when warm. These tacks are slow anyway, so i dont care if im off by a line or two. And the needle moves smoothly now too.
