Probably a bad stepper motor on the tach needle. You can find replacements on EBay

I believe Torch Vert is correct.
Gauge Cluster=Noisy Steppers
My Tach stepper ticks, gauge still works, probably just a matter of time.

Guy on ebay who sells the steppers also has a repair service in OK. Send him your cluster and for ~ $130 he replaces all the steppers and sends back. I'll be doing this soon.
