Default honda gauge cluster, with a manual work for an auto car?

I've got a 1995 Honda civic DX, auto. Speedo is dead, looking to replace the gauge cluster. I've only seen a few on ebay and they are for 5speed cars. The only difference i see is the gear selection (P-R-D-3-2-1) is obviously not on the 5speed clusters. Would it still work? I just want a working speedo, don't really care about having the gear selection displayed on the dash.

How do you know it is the speedo and not the VSS?

I believe for va state inspection your gear selector (p-r-n-1-2-3) has to be working. I'm not too positive about it being there though, probably won't slide.

i'm a nebraska resident, so not worried about inspection.

initially i thought it would be the speed sensor so i replaced it, but it still only works intermittent. then i pulled out a repair manual and have done all the troubleshooting. it's not the speed sensor or the harness, got it narrowed down to the speedo itself.

yes you can use a manual cluster.

So im taking that as you checked all of your grounds as well?

If so, I do not see a reason as why it would not work. Go for it and I hope you regain your speedo. I know it sucks without it

Manual speedos in auto Civic's are interchangeable.. both forwards and backwards.
