Speedometer showing slower speed issue

I bought a cluster off a forum member and everything works fine it seems but the speedometer is about 10mph slower than my actual speed. It happens roughly after 55-60mph. I know this is occurring because I am comparing it to my speed on the PFC. What could be the problem? Can a recalibration fix this?

I had a non working speedometer for about 3 months and now I have one that will actually kinda work but inaccurate and I'm just tired of not knowing exactly how fast I'm going. Looking at the PFC in KMH then looking at the speedometer is getting really annoying

My spedo seems like it gives the right speed for a while then it reads way too high.
