You can swap the clusters, though you won't show what gear you're in on the cluster with a 5-speed one.

you could always take it to lextech and get them upgraded..you could also use the 5spd one while you wait for the other one to get back from the shop

You've given us absolutely no info whatsoever, there is no way we can help you. Would you like to give us the years and models of each cluster so we can start?

Well Chappie. What our friendly neighborhood moderator was trying to say was that why waste the time and money swapping needles? It's pointless since there gonna burn out again. What you should do is goto lextech.org and oder a set replacements that will last longer and look better. Not to mention you have choices on color.

Well I mean it's his choice to go OEM. We know they are gonna die again, but he might not keep the car long enough to have to worry and he can pass the buck to the next schmuck
