New...Had a quick Question

I new to this site, actually i've been watching it for awhile and decided to join. Anyways i searched on here about my question but could'nt find an answer. Well i just installed my new reverse el gauges. I was careful to not mess with needle but once i was done installing it everything worked fine except that the needles get stuck. My rpm and mph needle gets stuck while i drive, now what does this mean? Does it mean i have to get a new gauge cluster. Thanks if you reply.

Check to make sure they are sitting right, sometimes they can pull away from the mounting surface and the needles get caught on them. You should be able to check this yourself if you feel comfortable taking them apart, or have a shop look at them. As for Kore I would be going back to the shop and have them fix it right.

Just put some doublesided tape under the new gauges. I had that problem too and the tape fixed it right up. HTH

my tach does the same thing. I was told just to make sure the guages were pressed all the way down.

Yeah, the guages only need to come up like a centimeter in oder for them to get the needles stuck.
I notice that what stops the needle is in the center, right around the hole.
Slap some 2 sided tape and you should be fine.
Personally i used a drop or two of crazy glue(i wanted a permanent install).
