hmm...

today i bought "guage assembly" from civic 3 gen - version with tachometer. My civic has a version without tachometer... what must I do to swap this "guage assembly"? Must I make only new connection to tachometer and all the rest of wire connections are the same?

ps: sorry for my baaaaaad english...

Well, when I swapped mine, all I had to do was connect it like the stock one and it just worked. I didn't have to do any wiring.

I have no idea. Just plug everything that can be plugged in and see what happens. It will either work, or it won't, it won't hurt anything by trying.

Mine was "plug and play", when I did it years ago. I went from a '85 1300 4-speed to a DX, I believe. Instant tach.

Keith, who needs to try this on the wife's '95 Civic DX Coupe...
