Speedometer needle flipped all the way around.
Need more info, how exactly did this happen?
I know on my sols cluster if you remove it from the dash (quite easy) its just a few clips and the clear lense comes off. Then you can flex it around or whatever you need to do.

I have no clue how it happened. I just bought the car a few day's ago. I've also noticed that the dash light's will flicker on and off. The battery light will light up when I barely push on the brakes.
Cluster probably needs resoldering on the circuit boards. Mine does the same thing. It sometimes goes away if I briefly go above 80mph. I just use a cheap prepaid Android phone I saw in the grocery store for $9.99 and downloaded the Here offline nav app and HUD speedometer app and use either for my speedometer.
First get the basic electrical system working properly. No electronic device will work well without a steady supply of power. If it is a 1996 or later model the flickering lights suggest it has the fuse 15 problem. Also check the engine and body ground wire from the battery.
After that, if you find that the odometer rolls properly but the speed needle doesn't work, the problem is going to be in the speedometer head itself. Remove the cluster from the car then remove the speedometer assembly from the cluster. The speedometer has a circuit board that can suffer broken solder joints and faulty electrolytic capacitors. Replace all the electrolytic capacitors before putting back together.
