Cluster in the back seat doesn't fit the syndrome. Speedometer apart to change the odo gear on the garage workbench does, especially when someone recommends using the air nozzle to "blow out" broken gear pieces.

So, I don't know. What I would do is swap clusters to be sure. For a '93, it has to be a '92 or '93 to replace it. Then, if the speedometer is to blame, you'd want to carefully pull it from the cluster and see if you can feel an obstruction as you gently move the needle by hand past the 38 stopping point. Going after the obstruction sounds like some kind of combination of skill and luck would be required for success. Can't tell you any success stories. Nor can I offer a quick and easy solution to retaining your proud mileage record using a substitute meter.
