I was putting some covers over my gauge cluster when i broke my speedometer needle, i got a new needle, put it in and now my speedometer is acting all jumpy. When accelerate it will go up and down really jumpy if that makes any sense. Its like it's sticking on something. Any ideas why? Thanks

I think we need some details on what exactly you did. Where did the "new needle" come from? I feel like the gauges are pretty sensitive creatures, so it wouldn't be surprising if you unbalanced it or something like that.

So I have a 93 xj, I went to the junkyard and got a 92 cluster cause some others broke too. To avoid messing with odometers I put the needle from the 92 on my 93 cluster.
