As far as the temp gauge goes, they all stick until the engine is warmed up, at which point they pop up in a "doi-oi-oing" kind of motion. If thats what's happening with your's then you're fine. If its a bigger problem, it's likely you need to just tighten the nut on the back.
    nope thats exactly my issue. pretty odd. my e34s works perfectly. maybe needs a little more lube.

        This. And pressing the reset button while in motion eventually damages the gears. When you reset your tripmeter, do it at a stop and make sure you lube your new gears. Then they should have a good, long life.

          Leaving town for 5 weeks. Will get new gears when I return. Should be a fun job, and easy for me.

            I have problems with my speedo and odo also, i have all new gears. My speedo sometimes works for a short bit after I take a hard left turn or go uphill, but odo is totally dead. Any advice or suggestion of what it might be?

              I was about to order the gears from Garagistic when I remembered my car has a MotoMeter. Would the gears still work? Otherwise can anyone recommend a similar gear replacement kit for MotoMeters?
              Thanks.
