Question Broken speedometer

When i took out my bezel to paint it, i accidentally bumped the speedometer needle and now it gets stuck when i drive. so when i'm going 70mph, the needle is on 40 or when my car is turned off, it's still on 40. my question is whould it be in my best interest to take it in and get it fixed or should i just get a new speedometer from autometer or something like that?

I don't think they'd do it though, b/c its not a defect. Unless you can lie to them and have some kind of proof that you didn't touch it...

i went to a junkyard yesterday and the guy was asking $100 for the gauge cluster. i think that's too much, so for now, i'll be driving without knowing how fast i'm going. oh well.
