Tacho Going Crasy

[skyrex4]

Hi

The tacho in my 1995 R33 GTST has gone crasy.

When I start the car the tacho spins all over the place for about 4 seconds, then either settles way pass 9000rpm, or gives a false reading or sometimes reads true.

My mechanic thinks the dash needs to be pulled out and sent away to an auto electrician to fix.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it.

Thanks

Cluster removal should take about 15mins if you know how to operate a screwdriver and can follow instructions given in DIY's here at SAU.

ps. a search in "drivetrain and transmission" is a good idea
