heyy guys! i just got my instrument cluster off ebay out of an 01 civic ex, got it all hooked up, and it works its just some of the bulbs must be burnt out because the lights are dim on some parts of hte cluster. im gunna get it all figured out tomorrow. i love that it works and im very happy now haha just thought id let you know, sorry if no one cares haha :P

 

sweet, gotta love cluster swaps!

 

haha it sorts sucks that the milage isnt accurate, but its not like i plan on selling my car anytime soon i love it too much haha cant let it go

 

Well, I've heard you can go to a dealership a get them the adjust the mileage to what it should be, if you have proof, like the title and old gauge cluster. Otherwise you may be able to swap out the speedo parts in each of the clusters. I know that works for 92-95 civics.

 

really? that would be sweet, how hard is it?

 

google it u should be able to change the mileage yourself, i know you can do this with my ef cluster.

 

which? The first option, all you have to do is ask. They second, well. I may be easy. Since you already know how to take out the cluster you've got one part done. Now you have to get to the speedometer.
Here's how a 92-95 cluster works. First take off the cover.

Then remove the speedometer's two screws

On the back there are screws that hold the speedometer stuff in place. Take 'em off.

Now, if the whole speedometer portion doesn't come out, you'll have to pop the needle off. WAIT!! Be very careful when doing so. You might mess up the speedometer's reading if you put if back on wrong.

So, you have it off. Now swap 'em, put everything back together and you're done!

 

I actually just did this the other day too. Im going to make a DIY, I have the pictures but just didnt do the write up yet. Will be finished eather today or tomorow.

 

just take the cluster out and get the clear plastic off of it so the needles and mileage are exposed, then you should be able to just turn the little number dials with your fingers. Match it to your old mileage and you should be good to go.

Now i THINK thats what you can do, somebody will correct me if youre not allowed to manually adjust the numbers, dont go out and do that right away til somebody confirms it.

 

i dont belive u can just move the numbers with your fingers, they are fixed in there, u have to take it apart a little more than that to turn it back down or forward.
