Default Gas Guage does not read full when full?? Only reads 3/4 full?

Hey guys i when i messed with my cluster trying to get my integra cluster to fit better i messed up the gas gauge. When full it only reads 3/4 a tank there has to be a way to adjust this maybe on the back of the cluster??

Well AFAIK, there isn't.

I'm assuming it was working properly before you messed with it? If so, you'll probably need a new fuel gauge. $43 at the dealer, or $37 + shipping here (look under "combination meter components").

The gauges are very fragile pieces - you have to be gentle with them.

have you ever taken the needles off, if so just take off the needle and put it back on full, but if i remember right the needles dont come off on the hondas. but its worth a try. if it doesnt work your still in the same boat.
