No, i'm not trying to commit odometer fraud or anything, i am just switching from a 115 cluster to a 155 cluster, and the new one doesn't have an odometer, so i am going to take the old one out of the 115 and put it in the 155, but does anyone know how? I'm not exactly sure how i can take the clusters apart. I know i can take the black thing off the back, but can the blue circuit board come off or not, i definatly don't want to break it.

BTW they are both analog odometer cluters, from a 96.

Someone has to be able to help me out, PLEASE!

Oh, and one more thing, why does the old 115 cluster have the skip-shift light when its an automatic, but the 155 cluster has a "change oil" light in the same place?

 

Start taking the old one apart.. it's pretty obvious.. i think it's just some 7mm head bolts. While you're in there change the mileage to whatever you want.. you just have to spin the little numbers. Nothing anyone can't do (seriously).

 

yea, sorry to jump in, but i ahd a 95 camaro Z28 with 82k miles on it beofre it was wrecked, then i jsut recently bought another 95 Z28 with 93k miles on it, and the trip odometer was broken, so i switched out the clusters, and now my new one has the 82k miles on it, and i did save the numbers and find out how much of a difference it was incase i ever sale my car or soemthing, which im not..but isnt that illegal? and dont they check for that when you take it to emmisions? i can say my other broke and i had this one from another car, jsut didnt know how to chaneg the mileage?

yeah its very illegal, kinda like stealing peoples money. there are ways they can catch up to you if you slip, mainly like you said when you go to sell the car its on the title andif you bought the car at 85000 and sold the car a year later with 73000, somethings not right there.

As long as you have recorded it somewhere then it isn't illeagle. Mine is legal because its the same mileage.

On the other note i did get it out and switch it. Everything works.. but the tach is off a little, it reads a little lower than it should, but its an automatic so who really cares if it reads 300 off that isn't much to notice. However the Speedometer is really off, or atleast i think so. Because when it says i'm doing 50 it feels like i'm doing like 42 or so. And driving with traffic flow, when other people are doing like 57 (the limit is 55 but most drive 60) and i'm clipping along with them it reads about 67. So its about 10 miles an hour off.

Does anyone know how to calibrate the speedometer. It would be nice if i could just take the plastic lens off, and follow my friend down the road, and just move the needle to what it should be, but i know that wouldn't work, that would be too easy.. LoL. Anyway does anyone know how i can calibrate it myself?

And i know this gets forgotten when you read it, but remember its a Bird we are talking about, so it has the same shaped cluster as the newer camaros, not the long rectangle shaped one.

 

get your PCM tuned, mine is 5 off cause i am going to install 3.73s that are sittign next to me, just havetn had time to get them isntalled...but yea all computer..

How do you turn the PCM?

 

lol TUNE the pcm, has to be sent in or programmed by someone..

 

i meant tune.. i just can't speel. heh. I know where the PCM is.. and i've TURNED it before to take it out, but tuning it, i'm blind. Do you have to take it to a shop or can someone with one of those nifty little gadgets that plugs in under the steering wheel be able to do it?
