No & Yes. The 06-07 Montes have the mileage stored in the ECU not in the cluster like the 00-05s. The shifter and console WILL swap, the console with no modifications, the shifter will require some work. Here's a write up a member who did this sent me:

When I decided to do this swap the Inst. cluster bezel shape and characteristics between my 01 and the 06 bezel were the same so that let me know that I could do the shifter tower as far as fit see picture below -



See the two mounting studs from the original shift tower - You must use (2) self tapping screws two secure the drivers side monuting holes on the 06 shift tower. Also must either dis-able or splice the brake pedal shift release sensor. (splice is default for safety). Also see the position of the shift cable ready two snap in the secure cable mount.

The shifter is a two piece set, you have to purchase the shifter *** seperate unless you find one that is sold as a set.

The floor mount you see is for the center console that line up perfect with the 06 center console. The rest of the center console mounts to the shift tower.

Nothing. That's why I said they can't be swapped.
