#118172 thanks. there is one thing i need to ask. my speedo does not work right sometimes it will jump to the speed i am going like i am doing 50 it will read 0 then jump to 50 then back down or just keeps jumping then stop. do i have to get a new cluster? if so i can get a Si cluster with tach will it just plug in and the rpm will work or do i have to add a new wire?
