But the year is important. The speedo cable for 1984 - 1986 (maybe 87-1/2) is different from the cable for 1987 (maybe late) to 1990. 1991 and newer use an electric speedometer. 2 - Yes if the cluster includes a tachometer, but the 1988 and newer style have a potentiometer that can be adjusted for 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder. #3 - Happy hunting.

Adjust the potentiometer on the back of the tachometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvzj Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 #1 - Yes. But the year is important.

I put a 90 model year cluster in my 86 MJ, although the speedo cables are different it will still work. There just isnt a retainer clip to hold the cable into the speedometer. My cable was stiff enough to hold itself in without needing a retainer clip. I have been driving it like this for a year without any issues. Just thought I might share that it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
