The speedometer mechanism on my 99 Si went bad. Can I swap one, the speedometer mechanism only, from a 96-00 Civic and will it work the same?

Yes, but it will look ridiculous. If you have to actually buy a cluster to rob the speedo from go for a DX cluster or just buy the speedometer head new from honda.

Why would it look ridiculous? I'm just going to swap the mechanism from the EX to the Si cluster, no one would be able to tell the difference. Speedometer head new from Honda is 100+ dollars.

I assume at this point then that you're trying to keep the Si gauge face? If the numbers are spaced the same you should be ok, if the spacing is different then no.

Yes, keeping the SI cluster. The numbers on the Civic cluster look spaced the same except for the SI cluster having more mph.

i have the same question but for the gas gauge think it would work

They look the same as well, but I've only been able to remove the needle of the speedo without breaking it. I've tried to remove the other needles and they break. I'll be getting a DX cluster today and will only be using the speedo. If you'll like, I can sell u the rest for cheap.

I bought a DX cluster today and swapped out the speedometer, it worked like a charm. Calibrated the needle using my gps and it's right on the money. The gas/temp gauge won't work on the Si because they are bigger single gauges since it's the DX.
