Phil:

If you compare the speed at which the odometer ticks the miles when you're driving 45 versus, say 80, does the odometer seem to increase in speed correctly? If the odometer seems to be changing speed accurately with the speed of the car, but the speedometer needle is limited to 45, the culprit is most likely the gauge and not the speed sensor, since the same sensor sends only one signal for both.

I have seen posts before concerning resoldering some sketchy places on the back of the gauge itself. You might check in the 700/900 FAQ to see if some instructions are in there.

Hope the fix goes smoothly.
