Default Speedo Needle

Does anyone know how to put the speedo neddle on correctly? I had to remove it to put the white overlays on and I think I put it back wrong. The speed is wrong because of it.[:@]

Drive next to someone, do about 30mph or whatever,and push it on at that speed. Easiest way to get it correct.

ok... I think that is right. Next question is it more likely for a VSS to go out or the speedometer itself?

what i did was i took the black bezel part off the top of the cluster, and put layers of ductape behind it to push the overlay back so it doesnt catch the needle. my RPM needle doesnt stick anymore but i think my spedo will stick above 90. but thats ok i dont go that fast alot anyway, if it does stick il put more layers of tape over that part.

You can just pull back on the needle a little bit. Problem solved.
