it will stay the same the cluster reads before you install it.
example if your cluster ( the one on the car ) says 100,000 and the one you're gonna install say 30,000 when you change it you'll have 30,000 miles car. it will feel like it too  and if you try to sell it this will show up --------------------  |

I thought there was some way to increase the milage on the new cluster though? Like, you can't set the milage backward, but you could set it forward.

It is illegal to make out that the car has done less miles than it really has. You can set the miles to anything you like as long as you clearly document the old and new readings at the time of swapping and make it clear to the buyer the actual mileage of the car. I believe the true mileage is stored in the engine computer anyway (thou there is probably a way of changing this, too). -------------------- Davey
