Intermittent and sticking gauges are usually from poor pin terminal connections and solder joints on the instrument cluster circuit board.
A service manual purchase would pay for itself and sometimes is the most important tool that you could own. Sometimes a large local library may have one sitting in the stacks for loan.
There are 2 plastic push-pins in either lower corner of the cluster lens piece that can be pulled out with a pair of needlenose pliers. With the mask off, you can then access the cluster screws. You may want to remove the lower dash panel and lower the steering column a couple of inches for more room to remove the cluster.
