I have around 20k miles more than the new gauge cluster I'm about to buy. Does anyone have pictures for a DIY odometer adjustment? I think there was a thread a long time ago on the forums about how to do it and it involves some tab you can adjust with your finger, but I didn't want to thread revive it. ><
I appreciate the help, thank you guys. I actually want to roll my miles forward to the right position so that people know that I have higher miles than what the odometer shows. ^^
That is exactly what I did. When I switched from the auto to the manual cluster I just moved over the speedometer assembly. This way I kept my original mileage.
That's a really good idea, and I didn't know you could do that.
Honda World in Westminster, California told me it was an extremely hard thing to do and that they'll charge me $1,000 for parts and labor to do the exact same thing and put a sticker in my door saying that the cluster has been modified. Is transplanting the speedometer and the fuel gauge from one cluster to another really hard? What kind of tools do I need to do it? Will there be anything complex such as soldering? Thank you.

Yeah be delicate when removing the bezel and plastic cover. There are multiple clips your must release before it will come free. After that it is super easy, but be gentle with the meter needles and don't break them.
Yeah thats what I did as well. Very easy to do. You might want to remove the auto lcd screen as well. I left mine in thinking it wouldn't matter but now I can't see from like 7k up in the dark because it doesn't really lite up. Its just something I find kinda annoying.

The transplant seems to have worked out fine with no issues, minus one. For some reason, my temperature gauge shot up to max temperature, but I know my car isn't overheating. What can I do about this? Thanks!
Since this thread has the odometer word in it, I'd like to add that I'm about to try to fix an odometer that hasn't worked for years. I now have the time and am wondering if it's a waste of time or an easy project. It's in an '88 Prelude 2.0 liter SI. Any comments or suggestions from anyone knowledgeable about the subject would be appreciated.

With your car, it may be easier to salvage one from a salvage yard.
But I have no idea how to screw with odo's to make the mileage accurate.
Every time I see one of these threads, I always picture someone trying to roll back the odometer in order to claim a lower mileage before selling.

Okay, this is for reference only since rolling back an odometer is illegal. With that said, there is a pin that goes across all the dials on the backside of the odometer. It is plastic welded in place. You take a soldering iron, unmelt the plastic. take the pin out, turn the individual wheels to the correct mileage, and reinstall the pin and try to plastic weld it into place, or gorilla glue it.

I figured that's why no one would answer my question when I asked, "What could cause an Odometer to stop running?". I'm not trying to roll it back, I'm trying to get it started up again. ... it'll be hard to sell the car with a malfunctioning odo.
