Just to confirm when you say digital cluster that you are really talking about the 6WA, which is nicknamed "partial digital", compared to the 6WB which is full digital.

If that's the case, you just need to buy one (already virginized or not) and then have it remotely coded to your car once installed. Virginizing and coding is $100 service offered by some members here.

If 6WA is what you're looking for, I have one listed for sale under the classifieds (or PM me).

The 6WA analog/digital cluster has visible needles when the engine shuts down and there are 4 aluminum rings that are open along the button (similar to upside down horse shoes). The digital part of the display runs across the entire lower button of the cluster and the lower section of each ring is filled in digitally when the car is powered.

Where as the 6WB digital cluster has 4 rings that open along the side and are similar to "mirrored" Cs facing each other. There is nothing visible on the 6WB cluster when the engine shuts off.

The 6WA cluster still gives you an idea of your speed and Tach's RPM, and fuel if there is glare from the sun or the digital portion goes on the fritz and the analog portion is still functioning.

you need to get virgin cluster or virginize it then and you need to do E-sys coding in order to get it to work
