Re: speedo.

needles really shouldnt, (in theory) get stuck anymore. They are all moved by electromagnetism of coils of wire wrapped around a core. The stronger the EMF, the stronger the magentic field is, and the higher the needle moves. Yours to me sounds more like a loose or dirty connection somewhere. It may get more frequent, it may not. If it does, pull the cluster, and clean up the contacts, and maybe even open it and check for anything out for the ordinary (not sure what though).
