Some ??? for everyone that has done the white face gauge swap>>>
#1
Hi fellas, I'm have some ??? about the white gauges from an SE. I drive a 1990 GXE(auto) and I'm looking to get some SE gauges off an '89(5spd). I know the 5spd doesn't have the OD light and mine does. Can't I just unscrew the gauges and swap them into my cluster so I can still keep my OD light??
I had some white gauges in my car not to long ago, but the tach was all phuked up. The one thing I noticed was that my auto tranny shifted at different speeds than what my original black gauges used too. If the gauges are exactly the same then why does that happen?? I'm guessing that the trannies are differnt making the gauges different. I also noticed that the white temp gauge was reading a slightly higher temperature. Is that normal or is it because of something else??
Any other recommendations or comments are greatly appreciated.
Take care all,
ICE

ok...
I don't see any reason why new gauges would have made your tranny shift at different points, the guages have nothing to do with the shifting. You can just put new white face's onto yours instead of the whole cluster (i think ngthing or someone sells these search for previous posts).

I am about to buy an 89 SE cluster for $85 + shipping (from Utah to Chicago). Is this a reasonable price, or am I being raped?
How easily did you change the miles on the odometer?
I don't know if this was answered before, but if I got the whole cluster, couldn't I just take the faces off and replace my GXE faces and not have to worry about any warning lights? But then I would have to deal with those pesky needles.
Thanks for the help guys.

In my opinion, replacing the gauges for $85 or whatever is expensive! I just got overlays made for my car, it looks just like the SEs white face gauges and it all fits perfect. the only thing that is different is, when I change my bulbs behind my gauges it will always shine green because of something inthe acutal gauge, no biggie.
