Gauge cluster dissasemble
I am thinking I need to dissasemble the gauge cluster (take it off) to gain access to a "slosh sensor" that may have gone bad in the 1989 5.0 lx hatchback I own.
The fuel gauge is not working right and even though many say it is the fuel sending unit, I just found out that it may be the slosh sensor , which is behind the gauge cluster.
So, I figure before I buy a fuel sending unit I will try to replace this sensor and see if it fixes the problem.
Anyone know where there is a how to on this? I will refer to the haynes I guess, but I wanted to see if there was a pictorial kind of how to somewhere that would make this easy. Or easier.
Should I swap to a 140mph gauge while Im at it? Maybe white face gauges? I will also be looking at the speedo cable cause I think it may be squeeking, and also going to be changing the speedo gear which is found at the other end of the cable, in the tranny right? I am switching to a 3.55 gear later and need to do this also.
Thanks everyone, please chime in and let me know.

mjr,
I dont know if this type of problem allows me to troubleshoot that easy. The fuel gauge isnt working properly, so they say its the fuel sending unit, then I hear that it can be the sloosh sensor. What do you think?

I think the sensor is on the back, lower right side of the gauge cluster, they say its a little card like computer chip like sensor. I amagine you have to seek out the sensor at parts stores or junk yards. If you find two let me know, I need one too!
