RE: gauge cluster need help quick
if u set all the needles to where they should be and if all the connections fit correctly I dont see why it shouldn't. just wondering why you want to put a GT cluster in?

well I dunno. I only know one person that has changed their cluster and it was on my friends Probe and he got a GT cluster and his wasn't a GT and it wouldnt work. Do a search or ask one of the more experienced members on here.

RE: gauge cluster need help quick
I bought a cheap ebay white gauge face and installed it and it worked fine. It came with ****ty instructions too. I had to take all the kneedles off but I wrote down all there positions before putting them back on. My only complaint was that the gauge face has a little button to turn the reverse glow lights on... I wanted them to be on automatically when I pull the headlight ****, but oh well. Anyways just Google instructions and do it yourself. It's very easy and doesn't take much time at all if you have any common knowlege of splicing wires (anybody with a IQ of Forrest Gump could do it). I'll try to find my crappy instructions then scan and post them if I find them.....
In the mean time, and quick alternative is to try to remember where you kneedles were before you had the gauge face put in, then warm up the car, take the kneedles off and while the car is on and running put the kneedles in the position that they would normally be. The MPH kneedle is a tricky one and I had to have my friend drive along side me on the freeway and talk to me on the cell phone to tell me how fast he was going so I could put the kneedle on at the right speed (sounds simple and dumb but it worked!!!!)
