Welcome to TGO. A search is always good advice on the boards, as some questions have been asked many times.

I'd suggest that you swap in the 145 speedo head instead of the entire cluster to avoid any possible electrical gremlins. The swap is direct. Since the odometer has probably taken a dump, the following link provides a fix:

It's possible that you speedo has gone south, but you might take a look at possible problems:
