Wacky Speedometer

Maintenance/Repairs

The speedometer in my 2004 Impala is going haywire. We were driving home one night on the interstate using the cruise control and we noticed the guage was showing a higher and higher speed reading though we could tell we weren’t actually going any faster. My husband took out the guage cluster a couple of days later and didn’t really do anything to it but put back in and it was working fine again for a while. Now it’s not. In researching this problem online I have found this is a common problem for this vehicle. So my question is-What is the cheapest fix? There is a website that says it repairs speedometers starting at $99. I wouldn’t dream of paying $500+ at a dealer. What about getting a speedometer out of the junkyard?

Can you just change them out or would it involve the whole cluster?
