That's a weird problem i must say, in my time i haven't heard of anything similar, so i don't think it is a verry commmon issue.

I would suggest trying to swap your gauge cluster with another one, of a friends or something. It should only take about 10 minutes to swap...

You havent got aftermarket gauge faces have you?. You might fint that the needle is a bit sticky because of these.

    I had that problem with my old celica, before I got rid of it.

    No idea what caused it - bad contact most likely.

    Pull your instrument cluster out and get it checked.
