im new to the honda world, ive always been a VW driver but i needed a reliable daily for school so i got my hands on a clean 1996 civic 5 spd, im pretty sure its base model figuring the cluster doesnt have a tachometer on it, so my questiong was if i found an si cluster or cluster with a tach from the same year/body style would it work?


thanks in advance

Yes, its all plug and play. You can swap the speedometer head too and retain your original mileage.

 

alright sounds good

thanks for the quick reply

 

any 96-00 cluster will work.
DX cluster, NO TACH
EX cluster W/tach moderate price
SI cluster W/tach overpriced IMO....

they are all simple plug and play.

 

If memory serves me correctly the LX also has a tach, but the redline is lower than the EX, which is fine since its actually matched to the engine you have. Here in Canada there was an option package that among other things gave you the cluster with tach on the CX hatchback.

 

Correct. My '97 LX had a tach (and was automatic, even...)
Not sure if LX has a manual transmission option, though. That'd make a bunch of ugly P R N D 3 2 all over it.

All '96 - '00 civics could be had as a manual, not all were available as an automatic though.
