Installed the CL-6 gauge cluster today to test it out and see what did/didn't work, as well as if any bulbs were blown...which 4 were

I was surprised, the thing was 100% plug and play. I remember reading the 99 TL-P's had problems but I wasn't sure if the 00+ did. I guess not. Tach and speedo are accurate, fuel/temp gauges are right on. All the lights work like they're suppose to (Cruise, immobilizer, brights, SRS, ABS, Low fuel, belts, brake, side airbag, brake-out, charging system, low oil press., check eng., maintenance). I guess I'll go ahead and remove them and put the actual mileage on the rear cover, as well as the mileage on the gauges during install Turns out the car I got my CL-6 engine and tranny out of had 77, 102 miles when it was totalled.

Very happy about this

Now I have 77K instead of 183K

 

sweet

 

say hello to odometer fraud strike on your carfax!

either way it does look pretty sick tho

 

you cna register this kind of thing with the DMV for free, not to mention I'm never selling the car. theres no point...with the mileage, age, and mods...no resell value

 

looks great.

 

GOOD SHIT, NO WAIT GREAT SHIT, ALWAYS GREAT TO KN0W...........

 

Looking good. When is ET for completion of this?

 

so the cl 6 speed cluster works with no probs in the 99?

 

I see one potential problem.......CL's are 2 door. You might want to test the rear doors to see if the rear door open/adjar workes properly on the LCD.

 

And how are they going to know??? Carfax gets so much shit wrong its almost pointless. (which i wont get into here)

NO. It works with the 2000+ the 99 is a different animal.

Not unknown. I posted it in a few threads as have a few others

 

wasnt there a try with the original cluster and the speedo and tac didnt work?

bc if gas and temp. still worked.. i would just monitor speed by traffic around me..

 

None that im aware of.

 

no temp gauge didnt work right and drive selector would jump to D5. theres a whole thread about it in the DIY section

You sir are a smart smart man! Just ran downstairs to check it, you're absolutely right, no rear doors, oh well...the price we pay for 6 forward gears


Sorry kris, I never came across the threads talking about these in 00+

 

Wow looks good, and glad it all worked out. Is the no air bags have something to do with your swap?

It is so cool how the RPMs go all the way up to 9k.

 

No the SRS light is because my SRS unit is fried

 

I tried running the CL-S6 gauges on the 99 ECU and it didn't work right. Temp gauge doesn't work at all. Tach did and fuel was good as well.. not sure about speedo since I still don't have the module.

good stuff 6MTUA5, that should answer some questions for people. For those watching the video his 6MT temp gauge isn't bad, the signal is different for the 99 models.

What were you saying about the speedo 6MT? it doesnt work?

 

Like i said, the 99s are completely different animals.

 

Whenever you take your car to get a carwash, serviced, oil change, etc many many places write down your milage and report it. Its basically how carfax gets the info

 

I'm running the 99 TL-P ECU so my speed sensors aren't working correctly. I was referring to getting Richie's module to fix that.

 

ahhh didnt know the 99 speed sensor signal was different too. Learn something new every day

 

99 animals, beware of the 02 beast....
