Can the NO-RPM gauge cluster be changed to a SE gauge cluster?

I have the one without the RPM gauge. Even if it's an ATX, I'd like to use one with RPMs.

It's a '95 Contour GL. Will it be as easy as swapping the cluster (will the OBD-I be able to drive the RPM meter), or will it be really complicated (splicing wires, changing stuff, ...) (I'm fine with electronic/electrical stuff, I've studied in Avionics, I just want to konw if it's a quick *swap the cluster* thing or not)


Now, for the other question that can probably get expensive fast, what's involved in doing an ATX to a MTX swap? I'd like to get a 5-speed tranny in it. (besides replacing the shifter, adding a clutch pedal, etc...)


Sorry, I've went through all the FAQs and stuff, can it be done without getting really expensive? I mean, it's a 10-years old 4-banger.
