Re: Changing cluster

usually clusters from the same year should swap. cars without tach almost always have the rpm wire already in the harness.

Question Re: Changing cluster

Did all the indicator lamps and gauges work when you swapped out the cluster? Any issues? I'm wanting to swap out my DX's cluster with an automatic's cluster for the tachometer.

Thumbs up Re: Changing cluster

Thanks for the response. The tach gets its RPM input from the distributor.

I have not had one of those in a long long time. Think my last one was the 85 Civic.
