Default Gauge Cluster Question

I have a 97 Civic, but my cluster does not have a tach. My normal cluster reads in KM/h, but if I was to buy one in Miles, could I simply take the speedo out of the cluster, and take the speedo out of my own, and put my own speedo into the american cluster? Would this work properly, and if so how big of a pain is it? Thanks a lot.

Go find a US cluster and swap it out with your old one.It is plug n play.

I may, but I'd like to do what I can to keep the KM/h speedo in there - preferrably mine for many reasons. Is it possible?

I dont think you can take the speedo's out. Youre gonna have to find a cluster that has a tach and a speedo that reads km\h.

Go buy a Sir\CTR cluster

u can swap the kph speedo into a cluster with a tach that originally has a mph speedo. its held by 4 screws, take out, drop new one in.
