I have a 2000 gt, 5-speed. About 6 or so months ago the speedo needle started to bounce around every now and then, then finally quit working all together. All of the gages work when I use the instrument clusters test function. Occasionally while driving and hitting a bump, the needle will bounce around my current speed but falls back down to the stop. I just installed a new oss today but that didn't seem to fix anything. Odometer still works as I accumlate a small amount from the random jumps of the needle. Any help is appreciated as I'm not sure what to do short of getting a new instrument cluster.

New instrument cluster really wouldnt be so bad...atleast you could upgrade. Autometer clusters are nice, if you can find them. Wonder why they even quit making them...

I'd love to help you out, but without a repair manual and wiring diagram I cant give you any reliable info.
