hey.
i have a 1994 mustang w/ 3.8L v6, A/T. recently got for my 16th birthday.
i was drivin a few nights ago and i hit a bump in the road, not a big one.. just a small bump in the highway and i looked down at my speedometer and noticed that it dropped from like 70 down to 40 or so. is this a common problem in mustangs? or is my speedometer just actin up?

I am soon going to take my stang into a mechanic just to get everything looked at.. tune up.. all that fun stuff.

thanks for the advice.

Okay, if the needle is doing that, you can not recallibrate it. It's a magnetic needle and once one of those gets fu***d up, as far as I know, it's impossible to have it read properly.

I have a speed cluster sitting here that is good. Swapped my old one for the one out of a GT, which works beautifully BTW, only if I could solve the dash lighting issue though...

If you want my old cluster, which is known to work, all you gotta do is pay me shipping. PM me for info.
