Default manual cluster to automatic cluster help?

i converted to from my manual guage cluster to an automatic guage cluster because my needles burned out on my original cluster. I installed my the auto cluster and everything works except speedo guage. is there something i have to do with the cluster to get it to work?

Give it a slap. If that doesnt work then does it still work on auto? If not, was it ever opened? If so, was everything put back in its place (Including those metal screws under the white back cover)?

Other than that, it is not receiving a signal from the speed sensor. Either due to a compatibility issue or a faulty speed sensor.

Before you check your sensor out make sure it actually works on a auto car. It could be the needle motor broken. These things also go out.

Ok I really got to test this other cluster out and come to find out my speedo guage doesn't work and my gas guage doesn't work. So I'm thinking of just pulling my needles from the auto guage cluster to the my old manual cluster. Can I do that or will I mess up the calibration on my guages. One more thing the needles from my old cluster are white and needles on my auto are red. Does this make a difference when I swap them?

Not to my knowledge, however different year needles are not compatible with different year clusters. If it does work the only adjustments you'll have to make is to position it correctly. Put gas in the middle and it will adjust itself, speedo you'll have to drive around without a face and a GPS that tells you how fast your going, RPM is a bit tricky but you should know where it stands when your car is warm, Temp should be on the middle tick when the car is warm.

To make life easier, when you remove your cluster and its face, before removing the needles take a few clear pics of the needle positions to refer to while installing the other needles. Be careful when you remove the needles not to break the white round base as any change of weight on the needle will cause inaccuracies of reading. They're easy to break.

Default 93 sc300 swap

I'm doing a 93 sc300 manual swap from automatic to manual but I'm unsure if the manual cluster will work in the automatic car
