1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
I have the standard 3 gauges and would like to have the full cluster, I found one on ebay with 1.7 miles on it. How difficult of a swap is it? Also other than the oil pressure switch is there any other mod i would need to do?
How would i roll the mileage forward to my cars 171,000?

Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
I have a 1995 beretta base and swapped over a full gauge cluster from a 94 quad. It's literally "plug n' play". Just pull the old one out and put the new one in; that's it. No other mods are needed than the oil pressure thingy. Maybe someone else can chime in, but it has to be a cluster from 94-95 right to do the swap?I have the standard 3 gauges and would like to have the full cluster, I found one on ebay with 1.7 miles on it.

as for the mileage part, i didn't change it...just wrote down the differences so i know the real mileage at all times, but that's just me.
Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
Since the car is a '95 any cluster from 91-95 will work with 2 exceptions:
1. You'll have to swap the oil pressure sending unit for a variable model or that gauge won't read.
2. You'll need a cluster designed for the correct number of cylinders, i.e.- if you have a V6 get a V6 cluster, if you have an I4 get a cluster for a Quad 4. There is a very rare chance you will stumble across a full cluster for a 2.2, only difference is the redline on the tach.
Swapping the odometer roll is possible, but it's a major pain in the ass. Just document the mileage on the old cluster when you do the swap.

I need to look for one, but finding a Beretta is nearly impossible around here. I see one green 95 2.2 base that some kid is beating around in, but that's it. Otherwise, I'm running aftermarket gauges in a few places.

Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
It's really not that hard to swap the roll or even turn it back... I should take pictures of it sometime, but then I'm sure I'll get it slapped in my face by someone else so why bother.
Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
Yeah, I've noticed that...alot. As an impartial 3rd party, every time you post something, everyone reads it as condescending, misconstrues it, somehow gets really offended, starts criticizing you, and what not.It's really not that hard to swap the roll or even turn it back...

I think people need to take things with a grain of salt and lighten up and quit making something more than it is and especially quit blowing it up into a huge drama fest.
I come here for cars, leave the drama at the door.
Oh so sweet succulent cars......

Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
I agree 100%, don't know where it came from either, everyone just randomly seems to have started bagging on him and whatnot. And anyways, if something bothers you on the internet, why get nasty? Pretty easy to ignore it and not make nasty remarks and whatnot.Amateur wrote:Yeah, I've noticed that...alot.

That is how Beretta's should've left the factory! RWD and V8, hell I'd be happy even if they would've been RWD and V6..

Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
mileage rolls are easy to swap. There used to be a sticky on it but that might have been over on the late forum bstuff.com. either way they arent hard to swap. In regards to the exact cluster you need for your 95 3100 V6, 91-95 clusters will work fine. 96 is its own year and will mostly work except the tachometer. If your 95 is obd2, which the late 95's mostly are, you could use the 96 cluster. If you have a mass air flow sensor in your intake tube than its obd2 and you can only use a cluster from a obd2 car which is late 95 and all of 96, if there is not MAF than you can use 91-early 95 v6 clusters. Got it?

Re: 1995 Corsica 3.1 Gauge swap
I don't think he ever specified which engine he has. As a side note, I changed odo. rolls on a 92 cluster. Besides the screws holding stuff together, that part is actually rather simple! I don't know why people seem to say it is a PITA. (although i don't know how to open up an 87-90...)
Corsicas.com had a full write up and pics of the swap...which I know doesn't help us now!
