auto cluster in man. tranny?
so as you all know, i wrecked my civic a couple days ago, now i am looking at a new one, black on black, 1994 Vtec with 160K miles for $2900 its a 5 speed tranny on it. now here is my dilemma, i wanna strip my guage cluster out of my old auto tranny del sol and put it in my new manual tranny Sol, will this cause any problems? the reason why i wanna do this is cus i did alot of work to my cluster, new guage faces, a neon wire and needle lights. so instead of stripping it out of the old cluster and putting it in the new cluster i wanna just swap clusters, is this possible or am i gonna have any problems? the only difference that i know between the auto and manual clusters is that the auto has a rail in which it says what gear your in, but the car will still run if i dont got that hooked up, right?
thanks,
Carlos
thanks,
Carlos

You will be committing odometer fraud. Your car will be flagged for it the next time it's registered or inspected depending on the state where you live.
The odometer is built into the speedometer. If you can swap the speedometers out, and all the parts that you want to keep on the manual cluster (or buy a manual face kit with a needle puller and transfer everything else), then your car's mileage will stay correct.
Removing the odometer cluster from the speedometer will break it. It's designed to break if tampered with.
There's a DIY on it, but since you've done it before, you probably don't need it.

this will maintaine the origional milage of the vehicle & be 100% legal
