Speedometer needle...

So coming home the other night and as I was going through the gears, I noticed my speedometer needle had dropped to about 6 o'clock on the dial.  I stopped the bike to see if it would reset, and there the needle stayed at 6 o'clock.  This had happened to me before, but it was the other way around, i.e. when my bike was stopped the needle stayed at 20 mph.  It eventually went back to 0 mph and I had no problems until now. 

So I decided to take my gauge cluster apart to reset the needle which I did in no time at all, and it worked as it should for a short time.  Problem is, the needle will stay put only until I hit a bump or come up over my curb into my driveway.  What can I do?  I have thought about gluing it w/ the tiniest amount of super glue, but figured I would ask some questions before I do anything I am going to regret. 

Anyone ever have this problem w/ their gauge cluster?  Can anyone lend me some FHE...  I have a 2005 620 Dark and any input on the subject is welcome.
Turn it off man, turn it off!  It's sucking my will to live!

Tiny bit of superglue fixed mine from doing that. :]
