tach needle lag

Hey everyone boguht a cluster to fix my gas gauge problem fix the gas gauge work fine now but the tach on the new cluster seems to no work correctly when i received it the tach needle was not resting on the black small needle. Took off the front plastic cover moved it back but when i rev the needle seems to lag a little. Should i give it some time to see if it will adjust or is this an easy fix. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to replace the stepper motor? With a working one from another tach

$700? That's ridiculous.

Junkyards? www.car-part.com. I'm sure a junkyard somewhere in the US will ship you one for significantly less than $700. Good luck.

PS - you've got PM
