^^^ What he said, and it's quite common on our cars.
And it's an easy fix.

Very true, and it's a simple plug and play.
The only thing is your millage won't be the same, and you could inherit the same problem from a junker cluster.

If you change out the odo with yours, your mileage will still be accurate. 1st gen neons use a mechanical odo and it is interchangable. You need a T9 torx bit to get it off.

Very good point, I never thought about actually taking the cluster apart to change that, but I can see now, it wouldn't be that hard.
Thanks for the tip!
