Speedometer reading 20 mpg high.
Yeah, its a 94 civic coupe dx. I swapped a Integra ls cluster into it, but it looked horrible so I came across a ex cluster so I snatched it. Well today I put it in. And the speedometer is reading 20 mpg (fuck damn "g" key, I meant "h" Fucking index fingers) high, So mph not g dumb shits. When I'm stopped it is at 20. When I'm doing ~25 its reading 45-50. I checked the speed sensor and its connected, but the tab doesn't click. I don't think thats the problem, but I don't want to rule it out just yet. I used butt connectors for the wires and plugs in the back of the cluster and everything else is reading accurate (so I assume). I'm heading out there now to make a better connection on the speedo wire behind the cluster just to be sure. And if I take the needle off and reset it manually, would that fuck anything up? I want to know before I do it lol.
Any suggestions?

Re: Speedometer reading 20 mpg high.
have you thought of taking the 2 good ones apart, swapping the dx speedo components (what makes the needle turn) into the ex cluster? had to do this when i got another 80's mustang cluster, wound up swapping speedo controller to keep the pretty cool looking white faces.
