Default Want to swap Canadian cluster...

I've got an 89 Civic Hatch CX (auto) with kilometer per hour speedo and I want to swap the cluster for a US one (miles per hour). Which years can I choose from and does it have to be from an automatic?

No one?
Can I just swap the guage face? Does the speedo needle just pull off?
Or, where's the cheapest aftermarket guage face?
Thanks in advance for any info.

Just pop in an 88-89 automatic cluster.

The needles do not come off, you will destroy the gauge if you try to remove it.

Yep. There are gauge clusters on the net and you can yellopages search for salvage and junk yards. Consider yourself fortunate if you are able to pull the cluster out of a car yourself because not only do those type of parts usually come cheaper, but you also get to look around the car or other cars to see if there is anything esle there that you want.

Excellent, that's all I needed to know. My local pick a part had a few older Hondas. Only $16.00 for the cluster. Thanks.
Of course they probably won't still have the cars there.
