Help finding an instrument cluster
Hi, first post! I recently got a 2002 Civic DX 4 door manual from a buddy. He's getting a new motor put in on a body with about a little more than 100k
I'm looking for a cluster with a tachometer, but I'm a little confused on some of the ones for sale on ebay. My question is what will actually fit my DX? Does it matter if it's off a higher trim or off a coupe? and what's a fair price for one?

Re: Help finding an instrument cluster
IIRC, the sedan and coupe had different gauge cluster colors. Coupe-red, sedan-green/blue
If you get an 01-02, it should be a direct fit. 03-05, you have to do some repinning to accept the different cluster.
Keep in mind that mileage is stored in the cluster, not the ECU. I'm not sure what the protocol is for leaving the odometer alone, but you can send it off to a shop (unless you can find a local shop) to get the mileage changed to what's actually on your car. Just to avoid any odometer fraud.

Shouldn't matter coupe sedan. If you slap in a cluster from an auto, you'll have a non-functioning drive selection indicator on the cluster face.
