Gauge Cluster Messing Up - Sensors or Cluster?

Like the title says... Speedo, batt and fuel all work fine. Temp is inaccurate. Oil pressure pegs and flickers. Right side lights dont work. Aftermarket Tach is installed so of course that doesnt work.

I had an issue like this before, and all I did was roll up elec tape and stick it behind the connectors so they would push harder against the contacts, and all came out fine. Should I do this again or assume its the sensors (whatever theyre called)?

Well Im going to try and do what I did before. Got to get other things fixed first though. Ill post if it works. Dont know if it will apply to you because our clusters are quite different. Still though, it may connect the same.
