cluster swap odometer question (searched)

dirtdogger17 · Feb 3, 2006

hey guys..i'm finally doing the cluster swap and ditching my idiot lights on my 95 sport..she only has 112k on her and the odometer from the 92 unit im swapping in has 127k on it..i know its not a big deal for most guys, but i want to get it back to 112k JUST in case i ever sell it..i doubt it'll happen, but my dad's still the owner and i just want the true miles on it..if it was a cable driven unit id drill it back but its electronic..where can i have this done legally/semi-legally?..i was thinking maybe the stealership but if anyone has any thoughts lemme know..

also thought of having a notary sign it off..?

thanks much

you can actualy take the spedometer and odomiter units out and switch them from one cluster to another...

experiment with the idiot light unit...

A while back i did a write up of exactly how to change the odo on 96 and earlier clusters. It's VERY easy.

OK I searched and found my write up:

Drive it 15 miles, then do the swap.

Follow 90Pioneer's writeup. I just did it two weeks ago, and it took all of thirty seconds to roll the odometer 22,000 miles after I got the c-clip off.

not all 96s and below are cable driven..91+ are electronic..would it still work?..and that "k" after 112 and 127 means thousand.......

Mine's a 90, but I'd assume that you should still be able to remove the odometer assembly and roll it back. You can always take apart your old cluster first, just to make sure that it's possible before you tear apart your new one.

:doh: I know what "k" is for, I guess I just kept overlooking it!!

Ever seen "Ferris Buhler's day off??
