Default Guage cluster question

Well i have had the car for 6 months now and always questioned the tack... its a 420a 5 speed and the red line starts at 6500.... The guage looks like it was changed too. its a white backround.
i do know when i had my 99 eclipse it was a black guage cluster and it redlined at 6500, it was also an auto.

To get down to it, i heard that the 5 speed redlines at 7000. anyone know if im wrong or what? it has no problem shifting so....

You are correct; your redline is 7000. It sounds like you have a gauge cluster from a 99 OZ edition (They had the white faces) that had an ATX.

They're probably cheap e-bay gauge faces, then. The only OEM white faced clusters came from the OZ models.

Yeah, 2 screws hold the bezel in place, 3 or 4 bolts hold the cluster in place. 10 minute job at the most. I have a spare gauge cluster from a manual 420a car, if you're interested. PM me.
