Hey everyone I have a 1999 Honda Hatch. I thought a new cluster would fit my car and it didn't..I primarily wanted it for its lime green needles...so I pluck off the temp gauge needle and the needles were different..so I pushed my original needle back on the cluster now it won't move!! Any help?

 

You probably damaged it. Swap another one in

 

Any ballpark on a price? And since I'll be getting another cluster can it be one with a rpm gauge on it if I have an automatic?

 

civic clusters with tachs ballpark 100-120$. if you want the Si/SiR one expect to pay more 150-200. And if you have money and want the CTR 300/400 +

 

Ok thank you for the information..I recently pulled out my cluster and seen the problem..the needles small pin snapped inside so that's the reason for the faulty needle reading.. If my car is automatic and a cluster has a rpm gauge in it will the rpms read?
My current cluster has 4 plugs a green a yellow and two blue plugs to the cluster..and is there a used parts forum on here? I have no desire to go new I'd rather paint a old cluster

 

There are other options to 96-00 Civic clusters (plug and play)
If there is a tachometer, it'll read regardless as long as the wiring harness and rest of the car are working correctly of course:
here's a quote from my DIY/FAQ I posted on another forum about modifications:

Ok!! Thanks so much!!! Is there a used parts forum on here? As this is my first hatchback build up but I am going for basic upgrades to ensure a smooth commute rather than performance..I believe the car should run 100% before heavy performance mods are added. So far I have installed an intake, a audio system, and almost complete with a full tune up. I need a oil pan due to the last owner doing a few patch jobs to mine which now leaks. And I just had the radiator flushed but the top hose never gets hard? What's the deal with that? Clogged hose or faulty radiator? Or is the top hose usually soft? I purchased the thermometer but a lot of people said mine doesn't have it in the car already cause it helps the motor run cooler so is adding it in smart or dooming me for an overheat with my faulty temp gauge? I'm new to this forum and I love the support you guys offer so thanks again for any advice or tips. Just please try not to be to harsh..as I'm new to the Honda game
