Hey all.. im new to all of this.. I just got a base model 90 Honda civic hatchback the dash cluster is missing the gas needle andthe needle for the temp gauge... will a cluster out of a 89 crx si work? It has a rpm gauge on it and mine doesn't. . Are they the same size? Also is it possible to put a 5 speed manual trans in it? If so where could I find it? Thanks...

i think both may be possible. In the 5th gen the clusters were the same plugs and one with a tach in it worked on one that did not come originally equipped. As with most vehicles it is also possible to switch in a manual in the place of an automatic. unfortunately it is almost never plug and play. It takes hard work and a lot of effort to make the transition. Luckily you are probably not the first to try it. I am sure if you do some searches you can find advice on tranny swap.

Cheers
