Looks like you may have snapped it. Those things are hella expensive too. Hopefully someone can tell you how to fix it.

Did you try making sure that the 3d part is completely pressed down to the gauge. I had the same problem and it was just because of the 3m wasnt stuck all the way. So I just pushed it down
In case you didn't notice its good to be a Florida Gator. Noles Suck.

i know the exact issue you are talking about... my RPM needle would stick when it got to about 500rpm... or even when the car was turned off it would still say 500rpm the problem was solved by pulling the needle up from the base just so slightly so that it would not be pulled OFF the center pole... it solved the problem, but a few weeks after the install, I didnt like the gauges and removed them. Im going with the stock black gauges and red leds now
It's not just your imagination... Your day really does go by twice as fast while on EverythingCelica.com

Im going with the stock black gauges and red leds now bro you got the problem to the dot, but i did try pulling ONLY the needle but it just slowly goes down again..so that didnt work, anyways i just installed back the regular rev indiglo i got from you they still look nice btw do you know if the pod gauges(not S7)by ac auto is also discontinued???...i just need something to match with the el gauge or would the s7 pod gauge match??

I can help you here. I've been scouring the earth for my AC Reverse EL tach with no luck. The S7 Pod Gauges are pretty distinctive and seeing as you have the same EL Dash gauges as me from the ECelica store, I'd either get the D5 Race Gauges cause they look different (in a good way) or look on eBay for the EL series cause I know there are a lot of new ones for sale there. AC has discontinued the EL series (unfortunately) but I know you can still find the pod gauges around. If you see them at an online store email and check to see if the store knows they've been discontinued cause a lot of places still list them as "in stock"
