hey my cluster went bad on my 93 lude. i wanted to get a new one but i wanted to make it so it shows how many miles as it did on my old one. is there any way i can rol back the numbers?

 

isnt that illegal?
even if ur tryin to match your original. state laws....

i tihnk ur best bet is to get one thats near ur milage. cuz after u try to roll back, if u ever get caught. i tihnk theres a huge fine. not sure tho

 

bro dont try it ur self. i can tell u a very easy way to do it but i would rather u pm me then saying it here

Why do you plan on rolling the mileages?

That's just dishonest, if you ever plan to sell the vehicle.

 

^^ its not dishonest if he is trying to get it back to the miles on his motor. he said he wants it to show his miles.

 

This was discussed a few months ago on here. Try and search for it, it was a pretty long thread I think.

 

just take the tranny od cable out of the trans hook a cordless drill up to it and spin it in reverse.

 

^^Yea... Because that wouldn't take FOREVER...

 

if your gunna do it atleast report to the dmv that mileage is not acurate

 

well i dont see how they would find out. my cluster shows 117258 miles on it and all im doing is buying another cluster and matching it up. trust me im not tring to roll back the miles mor than it is. i like knowing how many miles are on my motor

 

its not being dishonest, he is trying to show the mileage that is actually on his cluster, rather than adding 40k unwanted miles and miles that he did not accumulate.

hold the button down with a heavy duty rubber band

 

The best way to do this, is to fill up your gas tank, park your car in a garage with glass windows, on top of a cliff, jack up the car, put the car in reverse and a cement block on the pedal. Then kick the Prelude's front end repeatedly saying "Who do you love? You love a car!" Then, just lean on the front bumper.

 

^^ WTF? is there any way i can take apart the cluster or any way i can do this?

I bet you could take your odometer out of your old one, and put it in the new one...

 

^^^ so he could still have a broken odometer? or wait i guess he didnt say what part was broken

if you have the 92-93 (which I'm assuming by your user name) with the analog cluster, you can take it apart and pop out a c-clip and roll the numbers. it's kind of finicky but do-able.

and if you decide to upgrade to EL gauge (from 94-96 PRELUDE) then read this thread for how to modify the DIGITAL ODOMETER in the El gauge, I followed the write up in there and it worked great. Now you have answer to both analog and digital cluster for 4th GEN PRELUDE...

enjoy

 

ya its an analog. the rpm's are not working on it so i have to replace the whole thing

 

still lookin for an answer to an analog

 

bump it. i miss seeing rpm's .

all the clusters on ebay dont match up with mine. i got 117k on mine and i dont want a cluster reading like 145k lol. so is there any possible way on a non digital (analog) odometer that u can roll back the mileage on a 4th gen?

120k

 

...i'm sure you can report to your DMV that you have replaced your odometer because it is no longer working....just report your miles that it has last shown, and they will record the miles on the new cluster

 

ANSWER is YES, you can. i actually rolled mine back. who cares if its illegal, i'm not selling my car. you just pop the cluster apart and take a screwdriver and push it back. my odometer still works fine.
