Stepper Needle Replacement

Alright guys. Been searching the forum, the interwebs, Riceburner, and everything else at my disposal. Where can I get a Stepper motor replacement for my speedometer? Mine is very laggy since replacing my faces with BCC gauge faces. Everything else works fine, but I'd really like to have this fixed. Thoughts? Has anyone else done this? Where do I get the motor replacement? I'm pretty steady and skilled with a solder iron, so no worries there.

Any help is much appreciated!

Ok, so from what I've read, the cobalts use a different stepper motors than the Impala's and Envoys and such. Does anyone have a cluster already torn apart that could tell me? I really don't feel like re-ripping my dash apart just for a part number.

Hmm. If i'm going to replace my cluster, I'll just replace it with the correct one. Don't want to spend any money and take chances. Might head to the junk yard this weekend and see if I can find one there.
