I got a new cluster, (becasue I wanted an RPM gauge) and my old Milage was 187 000 Km, and my new one says 57 000 km, so theres a pretty big diffrence. is there a way I can get my old milage back ? with out putting my car on a jack and putting a brick on the gas....

 

I don't think its possible, I did the same thing to mine. I just wrote down the difference in the owners manual and I know that I have 22K more than the cluster says. If there is a way, I'd like to know too.

 

You can either swap out the old speedometer, or I have heard of them being wound over (which I would not suggest). I just got a new one and kept up with how much the new cluster is off, but be sure to put the old one back in to get it inspected!!!

 

switch out the speedo

 

He wanted the RPM gauge.

 

There isn't a way to switch out the odometer from the old cluster and throw it in the new one?

 

take apart the cluster with the tach, then take apart the old cluster and switch the speedo. and put back together and just plug it in.

 

have you done this ? or seen of it being done ? or is that jsut want you think ? cause I don't wanna **** up both my clusters here

 

All you have to do is swap your speedometer from the old cluster without the tach to the new one. It will work perfectly. Takes less than 5 mins. Just remove the 4 screws in the rear of the cluster that hold the speedometer in and it will come right out.

 

For me personally I can't do this as I am going to be putting in a GSR cluster, so any suggestions for GSR Clusters??

 

i did it last monday, works fine.

 

i have a jdm eg6 cluster and the speedo is in KM and my usdm cx cluster has the speedo in MPH. when i tried to switch the speedo from my cx one to the jdm cluster there were 4 screws on teh back of the cx cluster and then only 3 screws in different locations on teh back of the jdm one. i couldnt put the us speedo into the jdm cluster is there a way around this or am i missing something?

 

you did this last monday ? cause I'm an idiot, I broke the plastic cover on my old one.. so if sometihng wrong can happen, I'll happen !!

 

They have shops that can set mileage for you. I'm sure if you show tem what your trying to do they can help.

really ? the're shops for that ? I've never heard of one.. do you know if I can take it to a regular garage

 

No a regular shop should not be able to perform this. Try finding a shop that specializes in electrical repair. In VA we have shop called tidewater auto electric and they handle all of the cluster work for my shop. You may need a friend that works or owns a shop to help. Places that do cluster work are not to keen on working with walk ins, it,s a legal thing. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU SOME!

 

We got a JDM one in and I just clicked it back with a pick tool and was just mindful not to scratch it or break the teeth on the wheel. Worked for me and it didn't break ****. Not a suggestion just a statement.

 

I've done this. Open the cluster and manually adjust the mileage, it's not an easy job but it can be done.

 

dealership or speedo shop can do it too

(but I took mine apart and manually changed it)

 

good luck

Hey I change my milage on my EX cluster...All I used is a needle...First you have the take out the plastic cover of the cluster....When you look at the numbers, there are slots on the right of the numbers...just use the needle to move the slots up and the numbers will move. This process may take a while because I moves only a little at a time. Don't worry, it will not damage your cluster....Sorry its kind of hard to explain, but i hope you guys know what I am talking about.

 

what about using a drill to to adjust the mileage? just stick it into the hole that the speedo cable goes into. or do modern cars not have cables? or would this take too long? i don't know, i just know you could prob do it to the cluster of an 88 prelude
