Where to buy a gauge cluster? What year range will work for my 96?

Hi everyone,
I have a strong feeling that I am going to need to replace my gauge cluster on my 1996 4th gen.
I am dealing with the po600 code - or DTC 504, ECM TCM issue. I have ordered a new VSS and I will try that, and hopefully it will work, but if not I guess I will need a new cluster. For the last few years, the odometer has work intermittently, so I guess the cluster is on it's way out....but my speedometer and tach works fine as does my cruise control.
So where is the best place to get a new/used cluster assembly? What year range cluster will work in my car, which is a 1996? I wish I could get a new cluster, as a used one will still be at least 16 years old.


Thanks,
Zack

95 and 96 def. Possibly 97, cant remember off hand if the odo. is digital or manual on the 97 car......but you need an manual rolling odometer cluster.

Check the classifieds and your local junkyard

Correct. 98 and 99s are the only 4th gens that have digital odometers.

So then a cluster from 95-97 will work?

Anyone have a cluster with under 150,000 miles?
