Not that I think Bob is incorrect, but I had the exact problem, and it
wasn't the instrument cluster (I wish it was.  I coulda' fixed the dash
lights and the speedo at the same time).  In my case 1.8 bar aggravated the
old motor mounts to the point of destruction, and the speedo cable would
pull out of the tranny ever so slightly.  I fixed the motor mounts (fun!!),
pushed in the cable for the last time (I hope), and all has been well.
Good Luck,
