Does your tachometer not work at the same time that your speedometer
does not work? Does your check engine light come on? You potentially
have a vehicle speed sensor that is going bad if either of these
situations occurr,but if the tach is reading OK and you have no check
engine light the diagnosis of a bad speedometer cluster is probably
good. It is possible to disassemble the dash and have the cluster sent
out and repaired yourself but it is a LOT of work. If you are having
it done, depending on where you are located and who is doing the work
$ 515 is not out of range. For that kind of money I would have
someone else you trust give you a quote to verify diagnosis and price.
