A 98 cluster should work... only was a 98+ cluster wouldn't work is if it was out of a SVT I have found the pre98's speed sensor doesn't like the SVT 160MPH speedo. My cluster is out of a 97 zetec Mystique and I have a 96. some of the dummy lights might be different but hey I learned to deal with the over drive off being my check engine light.
