What do I have to do to adapt my digital speedometer to a c-6 trans? Is this possible?

the one that was in my parts bird was connected... just needs the right speedo sensor , if it has that type of setup.. if not, I don't think you can

Try to ohm out the printed circuit on the back of the cluster. At this age the plastic gets brittle, and the copper tends to corrode. Good recipe for an open.

On second thought, mine done the same thing. Try giving the gauge face a good thump. Mine came back to normal function. This, of course, will not be a fix. It might give you some gauge readings for a while.

I just went out and got a turbocoupe cluster everything works but the tach and oil sensor. I smacked that cluster around too while it was in the car. it didn't come on pretty much every gauge on the digital cluster went out.

buttstuffog to digital is not a direct swap as daminc stated, it will cook. get a cheap volt meter and find where you're not getting voltage. If you need the schematics I can post them.
