well i took off the speed needle and the gas and engine temp needle.. i pulled them straight out to get them off.. the speed needle works but the other 2 dont? why they seem to b back on correctly? do i have to buy a new gauge now?

thanks
mike

 

I made the same mistake!!!! the gas and temp needles are NOT removable!!!! start looking for a new gauge cluster!!!!

 

Ive got an 89 Civic Si Gauge cluster for sale if you need it. Let me know. MFinstllr@aol.com

 

The gas and temp. gauges can be purchased from Honda for about $100.

 

ok.. i guess i messed up .. oh well.. will the 89 SI gauges fit on a DX ? i know u have the tach and i dont? if they will work how much do u want for them?

mike

 

ok i am replacin the gauge faces in my 90 crx si....r u sayin that the speed and the tach are removable and the fule and temp are not?????

 

several people are selling the entire gauge cluster on ebay right now. you might as well get the cluster with the factory tach (the ones without are going for less money if you don't want a tach) the factory tach cluster will plug right in, no extra wiring needed. 88-89 clusters are diferent than 90-91 clusters, make sure you get the right one for your car. and no, gas / temp gauges off of a cluster w/ tach will not fit a non-tach cluster.

deadnite - you should be able to put the new faces on without removing any of the needles, it's tricky, but it's the best way. the speedo and tach may not be accurate after you've removed and re-installed the needles.
