Ok my gauge cluster doesn’t work replaced bulbs, speedo gears etc...trying to find a replacement has been trying to find gold. Thinking about putting a 03/04 cobra gauge in it. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance

Not sure if it's "possible" (anything is possible). It's definitely easier/cheaper to find a 96-97 cluster and pop it in. They are always on eBay. How much can you spend?

I’ve considered that same mod as well. I prefer the look of the digital odometer and the SVT logo. The sending unit on the transmission also has to be changed. But not sure what else is needed.

I'd imagine just some re pinning and go. I know even for a 96/97 Cobra going to a 98 Cobra or vice versa there is repinning... Shouldn't be hard tho if you have a diagram.

Did they change something in the clusters in the 98?

Always heard 98s were all around better cars.. better pcm.

They changed the wiring in the whole car in preparation for the HARD harness found in all 99-04 cars except the Termi has a lot of its own stuff. You have to re-pin the 98 cluster to even go into a 96/97 car...

As far as the PCM being better. Nope.
