I swapped my odometer from my old cluster to the new one with out any problems. You'll have to remove the needle though to remove the back of the speedometer from the face plate. Easyest way to remove the needle is to use two spoons, on either side of the needle, for leverage and push down on the handles carefully until the needle comes off. Be very careful because the metal rod which holds the needle on is very thin and could snap off. As far as the SVT cluster goes, it will fit fine, but the mileage will be off (130 vs. 160) and the tach will not read correctly unless you have the V6. Good luck and let me know if you need anymore help!
