  • making mileage the same?

    has anyone who has upgraded to the tach cluster changed the mileage to agree with the one they took out? if so, how did you do it?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I've adjusted several kinds of mazda clusters... Most are about the same.. You disassemble the cluster right down to the ODO, and depending on the cluster there is usually some type of keeper that you remove and then you can move the numbers around. Quite tricky, but do-able.

              you mean you just pushed them around til they said what you wanted? that sounds really easy!

                not quite. there are lots of little catches, inside of the cluster. If you gently take it apart, and keep track of where everything is, it can be done. I did mine, to match the original ODO, on the kitchen table, with small picks, screwdrivers, etc. It does take a lot of patience. Good Luck!

                Cheers,

                Scott
