My speedometer works, my odometer does not.
Did I forget to plug something in? I thought it was driven off the speedo cable. Is the gauge just broke? Went on a 60 mile drive tonight (to class and back again). At the start of the trip the odo ended in 60 and the trip counter was at 0000. At the end of the drive nothing had changed. Zach |

it's from resetting the trip odometer while the car is in motion. it dislodges the drive gear from its mounting to the shaft.
the pelican article talks about deforming the gear to make pressure points to hold the two together, which makes no sense to me at all. knurl the shaft for a solid repair (assuming you reset the trip meter while stopped from now on!) here's one of the 2 recent threads regarding this repair: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...c=97902&hl= |
