Do work
I don't know how many were using this, but when I found out that you could swap speedometer's from one gauge cluster to another, I found no write ups, just explanations and a lot of people not comprehending what was being described. 97 Auto Cluster into a 00 DX, MT. The auto cluster was the only one I could find at the junk yard, and everything works, and for $15, can't really beat it. I did however, take pictures after the switch.
Once you have the cluster out, start looking all around for the black clips holding the part under the clear plastic to the actual cluster. I got a small flat head, started on one side, pressed the tab with my finger and slowly pried it apart. Obviously don't break any of the clips. On the bottom, you will need to release the clear plastic clips as well.
Once you have the clear plastic face off,remove the black plastic trim, then turn it over and look for the 4 screws in the middle. Remove these, do not lose them.
After you take the screws out, your speedo will just fall right out. Reinstallation is the exact opposite of the above guide.
If you want, you can also take out the thin plastic light diffuser on top of the cluster, once it's all back together but before you put it in the car, it will make your cluster brighter. God the idea from Andrew and his 88-91Civic/CRX writeup of the same thing.
I hope this helped, somebody out there.
