I have a 1982 Caddy with a 1.6 diesel/5 speed. The odometer gear is cracked. This weekend I pulled the instrument cluster from a Rabbit diesel. Not sure if it was an 81 or 82. The cluster was almost the same as mine. Both have the clock with the temp gauge and fuel gauge above and below it.
The junk yard cluster came from a 4 speed car, and the speedo reads fast, like 10 mph.
What are the differences in Rabbit speedos? Is it related to what trans they use? How can I make sure I get the right one from a JY? Can one that reads fast be reset? Any info would be helpful.
I plan to fix the gear on my old one, just wanted something to use in the meantime.
Thanks!
