Lazy Speedo and Tach>?? so a few months after i installed some gauge overlays the tach and speedo in my 02 ss are acting funny mainly the tach. when i rev it up it gets stuck at different rpms.... speedo does it around 40 and 60 mph i dont know what to do so have any of you had some problem like this before? will a recalibration fix this or do i need a new cluster?
thanks
thanks
Has not happened to me. Are your holes in the overlay perfectly centered on the posts? (Not touching them.) Maybe your needles are pressed in too far and/or your overlay is not adhering tightly causing them to rub?

nothings touching ive already checked all that idk what the heck it is i was careful enough to where i highly doubt i damaged anything when i installed them
I had a similar issue in my 03 Silverado. GM uses little actuator motors behind the gauges to swing the needles. Over time, the plastic gears in these motors wear and the needles begin to stick, especially in the gauges that see the most motion. I don't know for sure, but would suspect that GM used the same parts in these cars as they did in the trucks. I got mine repaired under a TSB, but it took some doing. I took the truck to the dealer and got it diagnosed, but the dealer could not authorize a warranty repair. I had to go thru their national customer service center, they had to take my VIN and decided that my truck qualified. It was worth it, though, saved me about $450.
Hope this helps
