RPM Gauge Not reading correctly

What are the signs of potential engine problems? My car has 183,700 mile on her? The engine sound strong and the tranny is good. I have not change the clutch and it seem to firm and shifting good. Does any one out there know if the motor of the RPM gauge go bad in these cars?

Re: RPM Gauge Not reading correctly

Re: RPM Gauge Not reading correctly

guessing thats a typo and u meant 1500. Find someone close to u who will let you swap in their gauge cluster just to check. It's a 10-minute swap.

Re: RPM Gauge Not reading correctly

supposing your RPM is bad, you have to get a whole new cluster right?
