Gauge cluster question

Hi all, new here. I have a 96' XJ and the temp gauge is acting up on it. Upon startup it increases temp until I go down the road and hit a bump, then it goes to 160° (?) and stays there. I changed the sender already so it has to be a loose connection in the cluster....i think. So here's my question. Will a 97+ cluster fit a 96 w/o too much headache? Thanks for helpin the new guy out.

check out the FAQ section...

I don't believe the 97+ cluster will fit the 96 which is the older design.
The 97+ interior was changed completely.
