Default Speedometer cutting in and out

Have had my 1995 C-4 for a couple weeks. Initially noticed a few segments in Speedometer LCD readout were missing and is was hard to read speedometer at certain speeds. (for example an 8 looked like a 3).
The other day when driving on the highway noticed speedometer readout and related info, average mile per gallon, fuel gage, actually cutting in and out (going blank) from either highway speed or bumps.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what I could do to fix it?

Thanks for all replies!!!

i think you should try to remove it,check for dirty contacts,try to remove all the dust over there and put it on again,cruise for one day or two and if it keeps reading like that...i think you should buy a remanufactured one on ebay.-
You can find parts or the whole thing ..just do a search by " Corvette digital cluster"
Good Luck !

Also check wiring harness to speedo on transmission for bare wires touching ground or opens. Spray contact cleaner on connectors at both ends of harness ( transmission end and dash console end).
