1996 Cefiro/I30 Transmission or Cluster issues?

Hi everyone,

First problem post here so sorry if its in the wrong spot, every now and again my speedometer dies and i need to whack the top of the cluster to make it work. The other issue is sometimes when starting my car(sometimes once every 2 months sometimes every time i start it) the o/d light flashes random amounts of times. Would that be a cluster or tranny issue? im guessing the cluster due to the fact the speedo randomly dies? The transmission fluid is nice and red and it drives fine so im at a loss to why its flashing xD. And no i dont go out spinning the wheels hooning lol.

Any help or input is appreciated

Thanks
CB7

Flashing OD light is a transmission problem.

The cluster may be repairable just by tightening the screws a little on the back.

Use a code scanner and see what you come up with.
Most auto parts stores will have a free test for you.

Check the oil level in the transmission. This is one of several things that can cause the light to flash.
