LSter94 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I just wanted to know if the gauge cluster from a 2001 civic ex would work in a 2001 civic dx, and what, if any mods does it take to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 What is the difference in the gauges? Yes, it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 What is the difference in the gauges? Yes, it will work. hmm only difference could be color.. ahha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 nope. redline is gonna be different. ex should red at higher revs than a dx, i'm pretty sure they do. if you remember the red on your old tach then you could just put in your own redline, and if your an car has an automatic then you don't have much to worry about though.

LSter94 Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 here's the tricky part. He wants to swap gauges because his car didn't come with a tach. The gauges that he wants to put in are from a manual trans and his car is a automatic. Will it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 yea it could work.. i dont see why not.. even tho honda_civicex95 said differ.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Yeah. A auto doesn't have to have a tach just the same as a manual doesn't have to. If it has a speedometer, odometer, and temp gauge, as well as being the right shape and size, it will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 moving to civic, maybe you'll get a better response over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 it should work. but if you don't have a sensor for a tach your going to have to get one. it'd be just like putting in a boost guage, or an oil pressure guage...if you don't have the sensor your going to have to get one, hook it up, and put in the guage. if its the same size, etc, it should work with a little imagination. why not just find the guage cluster out of a automatic like his with a tach?

..SSR.. Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Or just forget the tach and drive by the engine sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 driving by the engine is suprisingly hard. but its possible...i still like my tach though. its cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I actually found driving by sound pretty easy. Did it with multiple cars at work and it was pretty much the same as driving with a tach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
