Welcome Elias! Did you have to un-solder that for removal? If so, I'll bet you won't find a replacement unless you hit the wrecking yard and buy the cluster - I may be wrong, see what others have to say.

You shouldn't try to stuff all your questions into one post. it's going to be a mess.

Well that's if you can even find a cluster. It would then need to be programmed to your vehicle. It could be a good way to go if you find a cheap one at a recycler.
There are also business that refurbish clusters.

I'm just wondering what made you pull out this transistor as a firs step. Did you test the light sources at all?
