I was wondering if any one has attempted to do a TSX cluster swap... Found one for a decent price and am tempted to try. Just asking if anyone has any info or suggestions thanks for the help.

^wow. That is really nice! I like how the needles point down, just like the rsx cluster.

its so similar looking to the blue civic sedan clusters its prolly not worth it. you would first need to verify that it will fit in the hole, and then the bezel prolly wont go around it. then you have to make sure the tsx has the connectors and harness wires already with it, which is rare. then you have to find wire diagrams somewhere to match up everything and hope that most of the gauges and lights work right. so idk, its a big effort.

i like the 2009 gauges better lol



sorry guys i dont see this old one fitting at all. theres no lower mounting points, and look at all the curves and bubbles.



i dont think you could get that middle HUD display working either.

Also does anyone know anything about how its mostly multiplex and the vss signal, and how it would be effected?

Heres a link about some of it.

Thanks for your guys help.

Gear, I dont even see the mounting points for the cluster do you know where they are?

Well I figured out that the bottom screws up where the silver metal is, but any idea how the top stays up?

yeah you might be able to get some metal brackets and mount them on those tabs and bend them down like the civic has. you still need the wire diagrams after you figure out if the cluster actually fits in the space. im guessing the top is held on by the bezel trim, maybe it will work the same in the civic. but first try to see that it actually fits in place and looks normal. then you can visit acura dealer and ask to look at the electrical manual for tsx (NOT the service manual).
