Does anyone know if I can add the trip info unit to my cluster without any mods? I found one used for a good price and wonder if it's plug and play on my 96' 850 GLT WAGON.

Yes, just do your homework first. There's two type of guage panels out there (Yazaki and VDO) and the trip computer is specific. Search for some posts from "TacklaNHL". I remember he did a lot of work getting a trip computer in his dash over the summer.
