Somebody was asking for a sticky... I've got one for you. This is sticky-worthy.
There is now a DIY in the tech forums concerning the swapping of gauge clusters for 5g and maybe 6g civics. I don't know what's new after '96, but I documented how I changed my cluster and kept the mileage on my odometer accurate. The thread is located
HERE.

I hope this helps. I re-did the job on my car because it's easier than re-explaining this process every day when another newbie doesn't use the search button. :thumbup: (Welcome to HAN, by the way...)
Hope this helps... and good luck!
