 like to resolve the problem. Can you give a detailed account of how you did 
 it?

i will give you a quick account. if you need more detail just let me know.

removed display cluster - 4 screws in dash hold the dash cover. 2 screws mount
the cluster.

a couple of plugs come out of the back as well as the speedo cable.

8 phillips head hex shaped screws come out of the bach frame of the cluster.

carefully lay it face up on a table taking care not to disturb wire etched
plastic, etc

remove speedo needle - this was the hardest part - careful - don't break it
off.
i got a screwdriver under the base & gently pried it off.

remove 2 small black screws from speedo face.

now you see inside. locate your problrm, not sure what it is - mine was bar
holding number wheels slipped out of place.

IF YOU CAN FIND YOUR PROBLEM WITHOUT REMOVING SPEEDO NEEDLE & FACE, YOU'RE
PROBABLY BETTER OFF.

GOOD LUCK
