No, this is different. When your alternator craps out with the needle over half-way on the MPH gauge, it falls out of place with regard to the electromagnets in the gauge. So, you have to flip it over so the electro-mechanical parts re-engage. The other needles work differently or are designed so this doesn't happen.
