87 IROC gauge problem

I have an 87 IROC with a couple gauges starting to act up on me. When I start the car the needles on my temp and fuel gauges fly up and get stuck at the top position. I can use a bent paper clip to free the temp gauge and it reads fine until I have to restart the car. Is this a sign of a bad instrument cluster or just coming from the sensor? The temp gauge started doing this about a year before the fuel gauge. Hoping not to have to replace the cluster since it'd mess up my odometer reading but need to figure out the fix either way. Thanks.

I permamanently mounted and painted a clip as a stop so the needles wouldn't get stuck between the pod and bezel.

I had a problem with the speedo in a 90 iroc and had to replace the cluster but mine was not working at all.

Completely different set up JEr, the earlier dashes were very problematic.
