Hello, I have a 1994 Mustang, that needs its Speedometer head replaced. I've heard that its both possible and not possible from mechanics in the area, as well as from Ford Mechanics....
Can I get a speedometer cluster from another 1994 mustang (base model like mine, or the GT version (150mph instead of 120), or even the cobra (160mph)) and swap that into mine? Will it set my odometer to what it should be? Or will I be forever screwed there?
I'm just looking for my options because I want my odometer to be the correct mileage. I know I can get it done correctly from the manufacturer, but the new cluster costs $352ish. When I can get a used one for 1/3 or 1/4 of that.

Anyone know?
Thank you for your time.
Yes, you can get a head unit out of another 94 or 95 Mustang, and all the way up to 98 I think (but I know 94 and 95 work). As for getting a GT, or Cobra you can do that as well but the speedomiter will be off, you can get it fixed for cheap though.
Well there are two ways of doing this. You can get a used (or new) speedo cluster and just correct the mileage manually, or you can get a replacement part for what is broken inside the speedometer cluster and simply replace it. The speedo cluster is a PITA to take apart but it's possible.

So, if I get a 94 V6 Cluster, will the odometer automatically reset to what it should be (what mine currently reads)? And will it continue to count mileage correctly? Also, would any adjustments need to be made to the speedometer in order for it to read correctly?
I'm just trying to decide if it is worth spending $490-540 to get it professionally done with a new cluster. To me that is very expensive.
No it won't automatically reset as our speedometer is mechanically controlled. If you get a new one you will need to take the whole thing apart and reset it manually. You can do this with the whole cluster outside of the car.
