Vibrating tach and speedometer needles

    This has been happening for awhile, and though nothing seems to be
    affected, curiousity is getting the best of me. '99 SL1, 89k miles.
    The tachometer and speedometer needles vibrate for about 5 seconds
    after I turn the car off. Then they stop. Doesn't matter if the
    car's been running a long time, or if I turn it on and then off
    quickly. It always happens. When it first started (could be over a
    year or two now), it was just the speedometer, but then it "spread" to
    the tach after a while. When I casually mentioned it at the
    dealership, they wanted to charge me to rip it apart and figure it
    out. I'm not THAT curious, nor do I want to pay to find out if it's
    not hurting anything, which it doesn't appear to be.

    Anyone seen this before or have any ideas as to what it could be
    caused by?

    tia!
