i have had the same problem and now sorted it you will have to take the dashboard of and take note of the colour wires going to the rev counter as i remember they are green and there are 2 of them trace these wires back and you will come across some resisters x2 near each other one of these pop and cause you to only half a signal hence 3500 revs replace both and problem solved
