So like, backstory: got indiglo guages, had them in for a while, decided I didn't want them, so I took them out. The night I took them out, my speedo was working fine. The next day I'm driving to work, and the needle wont move at all. Then I tapped my guage cluster with my finger, and it started to move. Now it only moves like say, if I get up to 20MPH, then the needle shoots up to 20MPH...and if it doesn't do that, I gotta tap it with my finger. Any ideas?

As long as you're gentle and don't snap the needle you should be fine. With mine I held the needle by the round centre part gave it a jiggle, then went for a quick drive to test it, then jiggled it a bit more, tested etc. Even if you do accidently pull the needle off, it's not a major problem they can be put back on. A friend and I did it in his 6gc - it's not hard to do and the gauges will still work properly and accurately. And in answer to your other questions, yes you can adjust the odometer to match your current milage and you can also buy a (TRD) speedo separate like this (although these specific ones are for right hand drive).
