it is easy...
i removed mine with a few turns of the wheel with the cluster pulled tight against it.
just removed a few screws...maybe a torx or two.
it should go easy enough.

I see what you mean. I've never taken the cluster apart to do this before so I'm afraid I'm of no use. If I recall correctly, you were suppose to note the position of the needles before removing them!

Worse case scenario, like you said. Let the car warm up, idle should be around 800-900 (unless you know it's otherwise). And get out a GPS unit and see how the speedo is doing against the GPS unit. The speedo is usually 1-10 MPH faster than the GPS.

you could always ask someone how fast they go at a certain gear and rpm's with the stock setup.

i would help but i have a different geared rear end.

but you could say be in 5th gear at 3 grand and put the cruise control on and see where your speed is at and compare to another persons.

im sure someone here will help you out that has stock gearing.

When you're going through pos. 0-3, Position 2 (I believe it's accessory) should light up all the warning lights for a brief moment.

0 is off
1 is I dont have a clue.
2 is accessory
3 is starter

Correct me if I'm wrong
