Guage Cluster Question???

I have an 82 rx7 and have just got a new guage cluster from an 83 and am going to swap it out with my 82 to get rid of the 85 speedometer max. This 83 cluster is the same format as my 82 but goes to 120. I am wondering if this new one will give me a faulse reading on my speed. If so what will i need to make it work???? Thanks,

What portion of no didn't you understand? lol.
What he (newbie) was stating is that their are no other needed modifications needed in your swap. The speedo will be accurate.
The only things that will change that is a trans swap out to a Se trans or a gearing change in the diff or a tire size change where the overall diameter has been changed. There i think i made up for his very brief answer,lol.
