Default Swapping gauge clusters in my 98 Civic DX

I drive a manual 98 Civic DX Coupe and I have no tachometer. I would like to swap my gauge cluster so that I can have a tachometer. What Civic should I look for in a junkyard to pull a gauge cluster from for a easy plug and play swap? I don't want any fancy Si cluster. Just a simple and similar one to what I already have....just with a tachometer.

Thanks for the offer but I can find one really easy at my local junkyard that is in good condition.

Hey, I have another question that just hit me. What am I going to do about the odometer? I want to set the new cluster to have the same miles as my old one.

Open the cluster and swap your old OD into the new one. It's the same part

I've read that you have to snap some plastic clips (break them) to get it to come out cause they're not designed to be removable.

EDIT: Nevermind. I found a YouTube video that answers my question. Thanks for the help though!
