My "new" 1970 914 has a working speedo, but the odometer isn't working. The seller said it's most likely an internal gear that he's seen folks replace rather easily. Any experience out there on this one? Also, the trip odometer isn't working and the reset button seems not to exist. It's not under the dash.

The gear usually does not need replacement. The fix is to disassemble the head and knurl the shaft where the gear is so the shaft turns with the gear as it did when new. The trip counter should work once the odometer is fixed. The reset is a knob not a button. Should be under the dash to the right of the steering column and the knob will only turn one way.
