I am doing a gauge swap and the AT gauges are like $40 and the MT ones are $100+. could I just take out the extra bulbs and sharpie over the PRN123? would it look right? I don't have access to the two panels to see if it would look ghetto or decent.

As long as it doesn't throw some sort of fit because the indicator wire isn't there, just leave it alone. You can pull the bulb out if you want, but I'd just leave it alone rather than potentially create an issue by opening the cluster up.

hmm what if you just put a mt guage from ebay on?

can you read??

i just slipped some tape behind it cause i didn't like the way it looks. the only real problem you will have is the rpm reading. if you look at each one, you'll notice the manual is more stretched out. so you will have an inaccurate rpm gauge.

what do you mean?

I have a gauge cluster from an 05 automatic for sale, if you were looking to make the upgrade... (it has 5K miles +/-) but I am in Vegas

I said in the original post that the MT ones were over $100 and the AT ones are like $40

sorry if you did not understand, i meant something like this,


is this possible to put a manual gauge over an auto?

 
Rep Power: 812

again, the rpm would not be correct

It would be sweet if MT gauges swept properly in an AT

 
Rep Power: 302

They do. The sweep is programmed into the gauge, not the car. The gauge just gets rpm and tach pulses. Same for Auto and Manual.

Hmm well according to gearbox, who has ALOT of experience in that stuff, it wont sweep properly, like 7k in an auto is like 5 k in a manual... I can't say for sure, I'm just questioning it.

gearbox IS CORRECT. I have an auto and I bought some mt gagues for like 10 bucks and i put them on. The tach is slower than it was before. I used to mark 3000 at 70 and now at 70 is like 2400. I am telling you it will be off!1

okay i think there is some confusion going on. when you say "gauges" do you mean an actual gauge cluster swap? or did you mean to say indiglo gauge overlay kit using the same cluster? if you just mean the indiglo, then yes the rpm will be different and not accurate. if you actually swap the gauge cluster, then the rpm won't be messed up as tinman said already.

Oh crap so if I swapped MT gauges in so I can be a ricer then they would work fine? *runs for gauges* LOL

OK, i'm the original poster. In my MT coupe, would an AT gauge cluster with a MT cluster gauge overlay= a stock MT cluster as far as functionality.

 
Rep Power: 397

Holy crap thats like a puzzle. If gearbox is correct then no, because the actual CLUSTER itself is where the signal goes. So you'd get an AT sweep instead of a MT sweep, since the cluster is from an auto.

 
Rep Power: 812

the signal is given to the cluster. every cluster will work since there is only a signal being given by the car. the problem happens when you add a gauge overlay face to a different cluster than what it was made for.

so basically there's no way around having the PRN123 on the gauges?

why can't mods just be free?

 
Rep Power: 812

ya there is a way just swap in a manual cluster.

jesus xmas people. too many people drinkin the Tard Potion again.

gearbox got it right the first time, and the second time. fukin a.

slap on an MT indiglo on an auto cluster and it works?

 
Rep Power: 812

No!!

 
Rep Power: 397

lmfao this is hilarious. Will my auto cluster out of a kia spectra work if I put 7thgen MT indiglos on it?

 
Rep Power: 812

well you could find the wire diagrams and try to see if the cluster even fits in your car. but again the indiglo will have different rpm because it was made for a different cluster.
