Hello all..... Just got my $500 560SEL back from the shop ($3000 later).

Man, what a car. Just a few wrinkles left to iron out and it should be an awesome car. Talk about a ballsy motor!

Anyway, the speedo is reading awfully slow, and the tach is reading fast. Also, the odometer is reading slow as well. I am going to open it up this weekend to check for a busted odometer gear that is so typical on these clusters.

Here's the important bit - Are these clusters different from car to car? I am wondering if I actually have a problem with my speedo, odo, and tach separately or if somebody just threw one in from a junker 126 with a different motor/rear end, etc.....

I also want to know if a temporary swap with the cluster from my 300SE would tell me anything, or would act badly regardless because of the differences in the two models....


Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!
