gauge questions

How would i go about fixing my oil pressure gauge and temp gauge? I don't know where to begin, is it a fix that can be done behind the cluster? My speedo is not working right either, if the car is cold and accelerate to quickly the speedo goes crazy, the needle moves back and fourth very quickly. I've gotten two ticket in the mean time, but the cops won't except it as an excuse for speeding.

hope this helps

oil pressure is probalby the sender, they go bad offen, it is located in the oil filter housing on the drivers side, has 1 yellow wire going to it. for temp guage, try the sensor that is in the front of the intake manifold, there are 2 sensors there, its the one with the bigger clip with the metal lock wire thing, the other sensor has black and yellow wires going to it, as far as the speedo, once again, check loose connections and/or replace the speed sensor in the tail shaft, the drivers side rear of the trans.
