It should just snap right in. No adapter. Take the cluster apart and see if there is any pieces of the old cable in there or some other obstruction.

so whats the best way of taking out the old cable and putting in the new. i was going to unplug the old cable from the tranny then pull it through the fire wall. then i was going to push a coat hanger though the fire wall hole tape the new cable to it and pull it though the fire wall, and then plug it all in.
