Re: help broken speedometer (red-eg6)
have a mechanic look at the harness that plugs into the VSS(vehicle speed sensor) the pins in the plug have a tendency to loosen through the years.

Exactly. It's probably not going to be the connection in the back of the cluster itself because it's protected pretty well. However, since the VSS is right on top of the transmission, it has a tendency to take more abuse from just normal driving. Try cleaning/checking that.
