98+ cluster in 92~96 sc300

I did about Four of them a while back. I cut all of the Plugs off of the 97 - 00 SC300 or SC400 and solder the wires to the 92 - 96 SC400 or SC400. There were about Three wire that had no match on the 92 - 96 SC400 or SC400 Wire harness. I made it so I could use the 97-00 Cluster or 92-96 Cluster Both could also be plugged in at the same time. I will Post a picture of the one I have later
SO you basically got the plugs from the 97+ cluster wire harness and by color matching you solder them into the 92-96 wire harness and still leaving the original plugs in did i understand you correct ??? This sounds very interesting if true

From what I've found the clusters are the same from 97+.
Since the 98+ sc400 is a 5 speed auto and the gated shifter they should have a gated looking shift indicator on the dash. But I'm not certain of that. If it does, the only downside would be it having a 5 speeds worth of indicator lights on the dash.
So then why not use a 98-99 sc300, they still have a 4 speed indicator, BUT...
You can't use a sc300 cluster with a sc400 because the tach will give false readings.
So seems like if you have a sc400, you're going to want a 97 cluster from an sc400.

I did this in my 92 sc back in may.Aliga asked me to post a thread about it but i never got around to it.I got the cluster and wiring harness for him.Only thing i wish it had was outside temp working.But i guess since my car is a 92 it didn't come with that sensor?But what would be cool is if you could hook up a sensor to get oil pressure to work where the outside temp was.
