91 comanche adding 92 xj cluster


Recommended Posts

I've read a bunch of the posts on this subject , my question is will the 92 xj cluster plug right into my 91 manche ? Also there are 2 sending units oil and water that I have to change is this correct ? The wiring harness in the dash behind the cluster is all plug and right. Thanks in advance

The 92-96 cluster will work in your 91. I used a 95 in mine. More better though to make sure the donor vehicle has the same engine as yours so you don't have to adjust the tach.

i bought a floor shifter and a console. you can use the shifter cable. you just gotto move it over to a hole next to the throttle cable. i had to make my hole a bit bigger. if ya want ill take pics and email them to you so you can see. let me know your email. i have the cable driven though but most of it should help.

Can you elaborate on this? Any write-ups on adjusting the tach? I just did this to my 4-cylinder, but a cluster from a 4-cyl was impossible to find, so i settled for a 6-cyl, but obviously the tach is off. thx..

Cluster in my 4 cyl is from a 6 cyl and the tach seems to be dead on.

They aren't all adjustable. At this point I'm not certain which is which, but I believe it's the early ones (84 thru 86 or maybe partway thru 87) that are not adjustable. The "other" ones have a potentiometer on the back of the panel that adjusts the tach for 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder.

 

I talked a friend in Greece through doing it. He had another tach he could use as a reference. His XJ was a 4-banger and he found a tach cluster out of an 88 or 89 XJ. He figured a way to make the cable connection work, then we tackled calibration. I have no idea if they're all like his, but he said ultimately it seemed that all the way to one limit was the 6-cylinder setting, and all the way to the opposite extreme was the 4-cylinder setting.

Thanks guys yes it was a 4.0 but the other thing is mine not auto on the floor what do you do with the shift indicator ? I plan to put it on the floor though.

 

This is what I did:
