Ok my gauges were all messed up when I put indiglo gauges on them so I bought a new gauge cluster. Everything is cool except I want it to say 132,000 miles like my car has instead of 83,000 like the new gagues have on them. Can I just switch out the odometer or can I roll it forward somehow. Please help.Josh

Yes, by all means keep your original odometer.

The odometer circuit is separate from the speedo and tach circuits. All you need to do is swap out your speedo and tach (if those are the things that stopped working.) Swapping those parts are very straightforward. Removing your cluster might be a PITA if it's your first time.

Oh and also verify that your tach is the DOHC version.

I have a 95 se and the water temp. stopped working plus I didn't want the indiglo gauges anymore. So I bought a new 95 se gague set and put it in. I just want the mileage to read the same. Josh
