2003 clk 430 speedo question

My speedo sticks every now and then, and just goes higher when you stop and go again. Happens when it is hot out
It always goes back after a while, turning off the car does not help.
Can this be repaired?

Sounds as if the needle is warped or the speedo face is loose.

Try removing the cluster and partial dis-assembly to reveal the culprit. Mild sweep the needle with finger might find a tight spot in the motor but this is rare.

A french fry might be in the cluster, they get into seat belts, window switches shifters. hunch.

Cheers

Thanks that makes sense. I need to have the pixels repaired with the people in Mass. A ex friend had the cluster apart to fix the pixels and maybe it went back together poorly
