As you can see, This is my first post, if its in the wrong section... Sorry


My buddy just bought a 99 Hatchback 5 spd. There's no tach in the cluster... how difficult would it be to pull that cluster and just swap in a cluster from a 99 civic with a tach?

Plug and play, very easy to get to, be sure you don't damage the dash bezel when you're getting the old cluster out . Search this site to find a specific how-to on your little project there.

 

not very hard at all...basically a few screw have to be taken out and the rest is plug and play.

 

its very easy to put a cluster in with a tach, either buy an ex or si cluster and it plugs right in. Or you could buy a jdm ctr or sir cluster if you want to be a jdm groovy guy

 

Awesome! Thanks Guys, Very helpfull.. I'll search for that how-to

Are there any pictures of that JDM dash?

Edit: Can't find the how-to.... anyone have the link offhand?

 

you don't need a how-to

just look for the screws holding the bezel on, pop it off, and then take out the screws holding the gauge cluster in... come on now..

 

just plug and play i did it with my hatch

 

If its that simple, great Thanks for the help guys

 

really easy nothing but screws...my eg didnt come w/ a tach either...that **** looks so ugly

 

Or you can buy a 2 5/8 Autometer tach like I have and put it in a pillar pod for 70 bucks if you don't want to pay 300 for a JDM cluster. It will be more accurate as well, and you don't have to worry about mileage issues.

Just another option.

 

I would recommend getting an EX gauge cluster. Then you can swap out the speedo portion from the original cluster in to the EX cluster, and the mileage will be correct, and the gauges will be color matched.

 

yep easy as pie you dont need a how to! unscrew unplug plug a new one in! simple as that!

Takes about 15 minuets just did one last week!

 

Yea, there's 2 screws at the top of the plastic piece... take that off and then on the cluster, there's 2 on the top, and 2 on the bottom.... unplug it... plug the new one it, and screw it back up!! come on, even a GIRL can do that w/out having to ask how-to.. j/p.

 

Your friend's 99 hatch is a dx, dx dont come with tachs. Go get a ex cluster or maybe even a si cluster...it'll fit nicely. Take the old one out and put the new cluster in...plug n play its easy as that.

 

very easy to do, just plug and play as others have said...I "happen" to have one for sale too Check the sig! Email:civic4u2envy@Hotmail.com if you wanna work something out.

 

since I cannot send an instant message to ya, how much are you looking to get for it?
