i had that exact same problem... but found the solution...

there is a black round washer between the needles and the faces... this washer needs to be fully down all around on the face... sometimes it pops off and gets stuck inside the needle... you need to get like 2 paper clips, bend then straight and use them to try to pop it back down onto the faces... look at your tachometer needle, that one is secured more tightly and shouldn't have came off, you'll see what i'm talking about... i think the fuel gauge and the temp gauge has the washers too, but it seems the speedometer is the one that comes off the easiest.. hope this helps
