Default will cluster from 89 4dr fit into a 89 3dr?

i am thinking it will i picked it up from a friend for 2 reasons.1:it has a tach & 2:my speedo needle is broken,so i have no idea on how much speeding i have been doing latley.Also i heard this is a straight swap,granting that it will work.but will the tach work,there is only 2 places for plugs on the back of the 4dr cluster,and the place for the speedo of course.Thx in advance for the help.

does the cluster have a gauge showing what gear your in(automatic). my friend and i did a auto to 5-spd conver in a 2000 EX and when he gets on it some times the gauge moves like from park to Drive 1 and then to reverse it's kinda messed up.but thanks for the info.

As long as you get one out of a 88 or 89 it will fit and work perfectly, the 90-91 is a little different. I have a LS cluster in my '89 hatch, the redline is a little too low for my ZC but I know where it should be anyway, heck, Aftermarket tachs have no redine on them anyway.

Mine isn't a TEG its a Civic LS 4 door cluster, tach has a 6,800 rpm redline but its plug and play and dirt cheap in the wrecking yards. as long as you go 88-89 OR 90-91 you match the year group of your car. You can make the other fit but it needs additional work that I cant explain since I never did it. The LS has a tach and so do almost every other one BUT the DX. the HF has the lowest redline, somewhat under 6,000. But I think even it is Plug and play, they all look identical except for where the redline starts on the tach face.

No such thing as a civic ls. Civic lx maybe.

OK, I stand corrected I am sure that is what I should have said. It was an L something so was probibly the LX. I got it from a local yard in MD near DC for only $25 it was out a a car that had 86,000 showing. Thats a hell of a lot cheaper than everyone is asking for Si clusters and the Redline is the only difference. But it definately cam out of a civic 4 door, not a teg.

yes an 88 or 89 cluster would work plug and play in your 89. same as mine. Why pay over $100 for a Si cluster when the tack redline is the only difference. Heck creative use any some paint can change that, me I left it as is.
