The easiest fix is to go on eBay and find a good condition cluster, and cannibalize it for parts. Probably just a failed electric motor. Does the trip meter move at all?

Why?

If you want a non-working odometer, it is very easy to accomplish.

I had the exact thing happen to me at 153k , I bought a cluster off ebay for 70$ with 63k on it. It was very easy to install to.

there is a plastic gear in the cluster that breaks over time, quite the same as the speedo gear in the tranny. it has happened to quite a few people i know.

I have the same problem as you, I was going to get a cluster off ebay. The only question I have is what year clusters can I use. I would assume 94-98gt or cobra would be fine can someone verify this?

Yah, any of those should be fine for the purpose of cannibalizing odo parts. Actually the cheapest would be a V6 cluster. I would only get a Cobra cluster to swap out entirely (which is actually what I did on my GT -- bought a 40k mile '95 cobra cluster and swapped odo's from the GT).

I guess that would explain why my speedo doesnt move untill I tap on it then it moves all the way to 100 mph and back down?
