New Maxima owner... erratic tachometer and clutch kit question
I just bought a '95 GXE 5-speed with 137k miles.
The tachometer isn't functioning right... rarely it would follow the engine's revs... most of the time it vacillates wildly, shooting back and forth quickly and quivering at incorrect RPMs. The previous owner, the 2nd owner of the car, said that the car had this problem when he first got it, and never attempted to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm sick of having to watch the MPH meter, unable to listen to the engine (I'm deaf)...
Also, the clutch is shot. I'm looking around for a clutch kit now... does anyone have any recommendations for a good one that'll last a long time and spirited, aggressive driving?
Thanks for the help.

Whatever teh fix for the tach is, it involves pulling the cluster. Likely replacement is necessary, but possible it is a loose or poor solder flow on the connection.
