Hmm... hate to say it, but i'm looking for a new cluster because mine does that. I managed to bend the tiny pin that the tach needle attaches to, and now my tach "sticks". You can take apart the cluster and slightly bend the pin a bit to try to get it to rotate freely, but I never got a long-term solution for mine. Still sticks. _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
