Sounds like it could be cable problems...I hate to say it, but try
pulling the cluster again, rotating either the cable output that
plugs into the back of the speedo (unlikley because you'll have
to move the car) or spin the input of the speedo.  Sounds like
they aren't hooking up properly.  Might be time for a replacement
cable...happened to me. :(

>Maybe the speedo needle loosened up?

I kinda doubt it as it's a metal-2-metal press fit between the speedo
needle pin and the needle.

If it annoys you, it may drive you crazy after a while. ;)  Um, you
did read the part in the install instructions about handling them
with clean hands, work surface, and tools...right? Anyway, since they
are coated, a little dampness won't destroy them.  I wouldn't soak
them though...use as little as possible.
