My speedometer only shows half of what my actual speed is going(i.e. 40 when im going 80,25 when im going 50)What could be the problem and what can i do to fix the discrepancie?If i buy a new cluster,what do i do about changing the mileage on the speedometer to match the actual engine mileage. Seeing its a 97 i dont think dealerships can do that anymore for it.

It is not your gauge cluster, it is your vehicle speed sensor located on the transmission.
