So i got all my LED work done last weekend on all my gauges.
(Thanks Rage!)

anyways, i realized that my RPM gauge is messed up.
When the car is off the needle is at about -1000
when idleing, its at about 300
and redline is 5K

i already ripped everything back apart once and fixed it but its messed up again and im getting sick of tearing everything out to fix it.

how do i get it in the right spot.
i know there was a write up on here somewhere but couldnt find it.

help.

 

You need to reset the sweep. Don't know how tho lol. I believe Engifineer has a write up someone on how to do it.

 

damn.
yea i stumbled across the write up about a week ago but havent been able to find it since.
that always seems to happen.

 

Search for gauge sweep or needle sweep in the Ice thread, it's bound to show up somewhere.

 

well i know how to reset the needle sweep upon startup.
its in here

Sounds like a pain in the ___.

 

well i succesfully managed to break the spindle off of the needle base.
isnt that just fkin lovely...
dealership said i have to buy a whole new cluster for $350...
thats def not happening!
so anyone on here got an extra RPM needle for a tC with the spindle and base as well. (any year should do)
if not guess im gonna have to find some junkyards.

 

Lol, welcome to the hell that used to be my life.

Whatever you do, don't fabricate Eagle Talon needles to work with our clusters. They will fall off eventually .

 

hahaha.
i knew it was gonna happen eventually, i was patient and careful at first...but that didnt last more than an hour.
it wouldve been easier but the base of the needle didnt come off with the needle when i pulled on it since the little oem clips that hold it in were gone and it was just superglued.

 

okay new question.
found a cluster on ebay.
but its for a 05-06 auto tc.
ive got an 08 manual.

will JUST the rpm needle from that fit on mine.
idc about anything else, i just need the needle and spindle.
it looks the same but i wanna make sure.

 

Yes. I have an 05 and 08 cluster. They're identical, minus some resistors and led's. I can even take my 05 and plug it into my 08 and it works.

 

alright cool.
so the needle should fit just fine.
were yours both manual cluters though?

 

Yeah, all the needles are the same.

 

awesome.
just bid.
thanks!
