Default Dash Cluster

Hi, I have a 96 Civic DX. Other than the fact that it runs great after 170000 miles it is nothing really special. I do have a question though. This is a manual trans but my stock instrument cluster does not have the typical tach on the left side. Can I purchase the cluster from a different model, like an EX, plug it in and thus have a tach? Or is that too simple?

I have a tach in my other cars (which are automatics: a van and a truck) which seems unnecessary but I would like one in my Civic.

Any help would be great.

yes, as long as it is from the same body style (by year). i did that in my 95 dx, plugs right in and works great.

I hava a95 dx sedan, also no tach. If i get a cluster from the same car same year, is there already a hook up hanging behind the cluster for it? or does it need to get wired?!?!
