Default * * *My How to: HOW TO RESET YOUR CLUSTER MILEAGE* * *

here is my how-to for those that want to keep their clusters at the same mileage as their chassis after a new cluster purchase

<FONT SIZE="4"><FONT COLOR="red">NOT INTENDED FOR ILLEGAL USE!!!</FONT></FONT>

<FONT SIZE="3">step one</FONT>

open your cluster by removing the face




<FONT SIZE="3">step two</FONT>

pull the face and needle off with care not to break them.......the needle may need a little coaxing with a screwdriver but they normally just come off with a tug




<FONT SIZE="3">step three</FONT>

remove the speedo unit by removing ther screws on the back of hte cluster unit (screw location may be different)




<FONT SIZE="3">step four</FONT>

remove the speedo face (again, screw location may be different)



<FONT SIZE="3">step five</FONT>

pry out on the syncro gear bar and reset dials and be sure to keep the smaller teweth inward (you will see what I am talking about when you are messing weith the syncro bar). Push the syncro bar back in, this may require a little tinkering to get everything to line up properly AND BE SURE NOT TO PULL THE SYNCRO BAR OUT TOO FAR OR THE SPRING WILL FLY OFF!!





<FONT SIZE="3">step six</FONT>

re-install needle but be sure tyo push it back on farther back fromt eh stop pin so that the spring will allow it to return completely



<FONT SIZE="3">final step</FONT>

re-assemble everything the opposite of reverse and you will have a spifftacular cluster like mine y0!!

Is there a LEGAL way to do this? Or is it pretty much illegal no matter what if you do this?

it is not illegal if you are setting it to your chassis mileage

like if you were to buy a cluster that had a tach or a higher redline and you wanted it to show the correct mileage for your chassis
