Well, I already swapped a 00 corolla w/tach to my 99 prizm. Worked perfect.

You should remove the speedo/ODO unit from your old cluster and put it in the Corolla cluster... RIGHT NOW.
The ODO mileages are likely not the same that is very illegal if it is less miles on the new one and you try to say it has the new lower mileage, or don't mention it at re-sale time... that is called odometer tampering and it's a FEDERAL FELONY.
If it is more miles, it may not be a big deal, but it will at least hurt the value of your car at resale as the mileage will not be "actual".
There is no reason to risk it, the speedo/ODO's are a direct swap, I know, as I did it on my 98 Prizm, keeping my original Speedo/ODO.
THE LAW...

"Altering the mileage reading on a motor vehicle is a felony."
Forgot to mention, I also swapped my speedometer to have my actual(which were less than) miles.

Then you're good to go. Enjoy.
