I'm not sure what year mustang the gage cluster came out of but it looks exactly the same other than my original one had an 85mph speedometer. <br /><br />The first problem is that the speed is about 5mph too fast. For example if the speedometer reads 40mph then I am actually doing 35mph. <br /><br />The second problem is that the speedometer needle is a bit shakey. <br /><br />I have no idea if these two problems are related or not. Anyone have some advice on whats wrong?Is there any way to fix this without spending a ton of money?<br /><br />Thanks <br /> <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>925GT50</b> <br /><small>Member # 2683</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,4,7,17,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Shaking needle caused by the cable not inserted all the way into the vss sensor.
