MY touring wagon instrument cluster

Cliff R · Post by **Cliff R** » Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:54 pm

I am looking for anyone who has or has a picture of the full dash instrument cluster of a 1982 manual, dual range 4WD touring wagon.
This dash will have the fuel, temp, oil, volts, tacho and speedo etc fitted.
The car needs to have had the dual range 4WD manual box fitted (4 or if you were lucky enough factory 5 speed)
It has to be the analogue dash and not the digital one.
My issue is, mine started life as an auto so it only has the one 4WD light on the cluster.
I want to know what the manual, dual range dash cluster looked like as I am thinking of sending out a parts request to a variety of wreckers to see if I can get a hold of one.
I have made the mistake previously of not stipulating I wanted a cluster out of a 4WD as the last dash I bought on line looks like it was out of a 2WD as the 4WD light and lens wasnt fitted at all.
A picture would be excellent if possible.
I am wondering if there was a low and a high range light or was the dash the same for the manual and the auto.
Just need to know for sure.

I have both a digi and an analog cluster, both from autos though. Ironically It out of my car at the moment. If I recall correctly I think the auto clusters also have the 4low light but I could be wrong. Checking now....

Arh. Digital auto has both 4wd light and Low light. Analog only has 4WD.

Regards

Sorry, can't help you Cliff but I would love one of those analogue clusters. I'd take your old one or if you find a wrecker with a stash of them I like to know about it. I have a touring wagon with the digi setup that has clapped out on me.

There are some pics here ... but none of the Aussie manual version ...

Edit : found a US version :

And yes it does have the 4WD & low light in it :

More details here ...
So if you have the GL model dash it should have all the lights,
you just have to find correct wire or even just put a globe in ...

More info :

Diagram on left is for std models, one on far right is what your looking for ...

Like this?

But you can't see the 4WD lights

I too am looking for this cluster, and some wiring to go with it.

I'm not sure if these ever made it to OZ - I've never seen one ...

The Auto Version of that analog cluster has the AT Temp light instead of the LO light.

I Dont think it would be too hard to modify it to show LO instead of at temp. Scratch some paint off and reapply as needed.

Paul at Subawreck has a good supply of digital dashes - I bought one 18 months ago for a manual MY TW and it was not a problem.

OK, so I should be able to send out a request for a cluster with both hi and lo and hopefully get a reply.
Thanks everyone.

In Aus, Touring Wagon was only available with the 3 speed Auto or the 4 speed Dual Range Manual. 5 speed was only 2WD in the coupe and sedan but only the couple had the long dash cluster.

The 4WD Dual Range Manual will have both 4WD lights (including where the wheels are on the little drawing) and a "LO" light on the cluster.
