Will a AUTO gauge cluster work in manual?

[NeMiZiS]

So, i wanna make my car an OZ 99 clone , and I can only find Automatic OEM white face gauge clusters!!
does anyone know if it will work in a manual car?.... Or do i have to find a manual one?...
thanks,

Yes they should.

 

[snowborder714]

I believe they will as well. Just check the plugs on the back to veryify they're the same.

Well, thats the problem! I want to order this, auto white face gauge cluster , So i don't actually have two in front of me.
If any one knows for sure, I would really appreciate it!! I think I'm about to order this cluster anyways.

White Face Gauge Cluster?

Is it a full Gauge Cluster, or just the faces? Got pictures? It might be from a 99 Special Edition, which came with OEM White Face Gauges. I'd love to get ahold of a set. Automatic gauge clusters will work. Its just it will look a little funny since it has the P, N, R lights in the center of the Speedo and Tach.

IF not, look for some Gauge Faces, they are easy to install, you just pull them over the needles of the stock gauges and put everything back together... I love mine...

***Edit***, sorry I didn't read your post very well about the 99 Special Edition (OZ Edition)... I'm stupid... If you keep your eye out, you can find them. I see them atleast one, once a month on Ebay.

He stated in the first post he was trying to make his car a '99 OZ clone which would mean the cluster is from a Special Edition. And it's a full cluster since he's asking if the automatic cluster will work in a manual car.

Yeah, I kinda figured that afterwards, which is why I edited my post

Haha, ya. I saw after I posted that you edited yours.

Auto gauges do not say "P R D 1 2" anywhere on the cluster....it is the same as a manual cluster, although it does have a O/D light in the middle.

Yeah they do. I owned a 2g Automatic.

I was gonna say...

They have that black strip in the middle of the tach and speedo that says the selection the shifter is in. I accidentally bought an auto cluster (but I'm just putting LED's in it so it doesn't really matter) and saw that.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

I was going to get an Automatic cluster, or just a Automatic Carbon Gauge Bezel to go around the gauges like I just posted above, and install some LED's in place of the PNRD123 lights for my radar detector.

Infact, about the Overdrive light also, The manual gauge clusters have the Overdrive light also. There are a ton of lights that mitsubishi installed, but never hooked up. Like the Fog Light Indicator light (as seen in my avatar on the right), which lights up when your fog lights are on. Also they had a AT Trans Temp light. and some other cool options. To see what kind, you gotta pull your cluster apart, pull the two lenses out and look at them in some light... the fog indicator was easy to hookup, just check on the How-To's here in the forums.

Guys the main difference with the auto and manual clusters is

1. The RPM's only go up to 8000 rpms on the auto while the manual goes up to 9000 rpms.
2. Also, the CEL light when displayed shows "Service Engine Soon" rather than the normal CEL.

And also what others stated about the white face gauges.

 

[InfiniteGSX]

AND the PNRD123 Lights. Actually, the 2G automatic I had, only had PNRD lights, it was an RS... I did not know about the CEL tho...

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Also, my auto cluster on my old GS does not have the P,R,N,D,2,L in the cluster nor does any aother auto eclipes that I've driven. Only had it at the shifter area. Only thing there was just the OD signal.

 

[NeMiZiS]

Their is a couple of them on ebay, I think 2 , but they are both automatics
So, will it look funny using and auto cluster?.
Will it look like the the P R D 1 2 is supposed to be lit up?, or will no one be able to tell?...

 

[InfiniteGSX]

My 2G RS had PNRD located at the top going downward. Also a 2G GS Automatic I drove I belive had the entire bar with them. I remember them quite well.

When I had my RS, you could barely notice them, unless you were in that specific gear, and thats when they would light up. IF you looked at them hard, you could see the letters... But if not, they are just dark until you switch gears. P was lit up in red, the rest were a cheasemo green color

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Well, as you can see Im not arguing with you. I made my statement and I posted my pic to back it up. And as you can see from the pic there is nothing above the OD signal. So maybe it was an option or maybe it was just made for certain years? I dont know...

Can you find a pic of this with the P,R,N,D,2,L above the OD signal?

 

[InfiniteGSX]

I just searched ebay, couldn't find crap.

 

[BoostedinSoFla]

Well, here's a pic from a 99 Auto GSX....same shit as mine. No P,R,N,D,2,L.

this is a pic of the one i'ma buy
but it is not a very good picture, I don't see any pndr12 on it

 

[InfiniteGSX]

Ok, my bad. Your right.

 

[rich3389]

Every auto dsm I've been in had no gear indicator on the gauge cluster. I own a auto dsm and a M/T dsm and both of them have that bar looking strip in between the tach and speedo but there is nothing there.

 

[jeking]

I have a 95 auto and I did the manual swap and the only difference I've found is I get a Trans Temp light at start up and my overdrive light doesn't light any more.

 

[NeMiZiS]

So did you have any problems, with the instruments working properly?
