Default Gage Off

Does anyone know how to set the speedometer gage back? After installing my white face gages the speedometer ready 10mph over the actual speed. I have tried placing the needle in place while driving and no luck.
Thank you

the speedometer is very sensitive.. which means when you slipped the white face gauges over the needle you most likely broke it and need to get a new speedo.

When I did my guages, I pushed my speedo needle up and it returned right back down to zero again. It should do that, so maybe you did break it and probably need a new one now?

mine's about 6 miles per hour fast too.... best thing you can do is take it to a shop and get it recalibrated. i really only tried to fix it once; i started the car, took the needle off let it wind back to zero and put the needle back on and that didn't work.
