        02 is the year cluster I had, the Festiva needles have a long post that holds half the gauges together glued to the needle. If you just pull the needle out the post comes out and the guts of the gauges fall apart lol..

        The rpm needle is the only one that isn't the right length but just use a pair of wire cutters and snip it to length, you'll never notice a difference.
