Tach reading too high?

Postby RS13 » Wed Dec 08, 2004 12:43 am

Tach is obviously reading too high, it says its idling 1000rpm higher than it actually is.. why would this be? Worth replacing the gauge cluster or is it further in than that? Any help is much appreciated!

Yeah.. sometimes it just decides to stay up there...

I tried to race a clubsport but I didn't know where to change gear and I lost.

Of course.. i really had no choice in the matter anyway.
