I agree, and in fact I'm pretty sure that's the problem I have right now
with TS13571L. But disassembling the gauge to reach that bearing is kind of
a finicky operation; last time I tried it, the shaft broke before the
pointer came off. So if that is the problem, you might want to consider
sending it to a professional instead.
In case someone hasn't already supplied it, here is a link to Tony Rhodes'
excellent article on speedo repair:
