Default gauge cluster in an XJ 1991 2.5L

Hello, I've found all kinds of information on swapping in a gauge cluster to replace the idiot lights but its all for 4.0's My Xj is a 1991 and I've found a cluster from 93 Xj which is supposed to fit but it is from a 4.0. My engine is the "red haired foster child" 2.5L.

I know I will Have to change sending units but is the swap going to work in a 2.5L or will I need to recalibrate anything or find one that has came from a 2.5L. Thank you for your help.

If I had known you guys and this forum existed I would have bought a jeep a long time ago !

Default gauge cluster replacement

Have I put this in the wrong place or have I broken some sort of rule for posting ?

I think the redline on the tach will be wrong but everything else should be the same.But im not 100% on that i haven't touched a 4 cylinder xj yet.

On the Renix era clusters, you can adjust the tach via a small screw in the back.
