Why do you want to change it? Lowering the mileage to make selling a car easier is highly illegal in most (if not all) countries as it is fraud and deception. The only time you'd be wanting to change the mileage on a car is if you have either changed the cluster (and need to set it at the same reading as the old one) or have put in a new engine and need to change the reading to match the new engine (would probably need to inform the relevant registration authority anyway).

Yes, I made a DIY on changing the mileage (I'm Chris as mentioned), but only for swapping clusters to make the numbers match. Why do you want to change the numbers?

Had to come back after reading this .....the only reason was putting in a new engine was going to use the FXGT cluster that came with motor but I really like the 4 dial GT cluster.

I want to replace it because it doesn't look nice, also want to know if adjusting mile age is possible.

thanks for the reply. I want to replace the speedometer. the other guage is not working properly and the appearance is not good also. I want to restore the car I bought just to make it look good again

OK guys how do you do that I was swaping today the cluster with rpm but I can't change the mileage. I did what Chris did but in my case it's very hard to turn the gearing for up the number. I was afraid to broke it soo I stopped. Help please.

Subject: Re: mile age adjustment how to? Sat May 04, 2013 7:24 am

try turning the other way, one way will be easier than the other (as its designed to turn one way)

Subject: Re: mile age adjustment how to? Sat May 04, 2013 8:37 am

I turn the way to advance the number. Like 8 -->9. But you say to try to turn the other side 8-->7? I will try tomorrow, I reput the old cluster Crying or Very sad

NO you have to to 8 to 9, in increasing order. It is hard to do, you just have to be very very firm and careful at the same time. IE if your hand slips, it's not going anywhere.

^^

thats what i meant, go upwards with the number (7 -> 8 -> 9)

Subject: Re: mile age adjustment how to? Tue May 07, 2013 3:22 am

That is what I was doing 8--9, I will try how strong I can go in the junkyard with a cluster.
