is your needle just pulled off or broke. would it read the speed if it still had the needle? ifyou are talking about the tripmeter, it takes some creative engineering to fix that. there are 2 tabs that hold the gears in place with a spring behind them, and over time the tabs break.

thanks

the needle is fine, but the tip of the needle which connects to the dash it self got broken so I was thinking of glueing the tips together, the speedo still works

just get anouther needle and change it. they pull off. u can glue it, but be carefull not to get glue on the shaft housing or it will be frozen.

thanks
