Any ideas what might be up here? Obviously the cable is turning. Is there a little plastic gear inside the guage that connects the two that could be broken?

Thanks
John

I have to say sending my gauges to Tim was the best thing I ever did! He fixed my odometer, changed out the crappy plastic lenses, repainted the needles, and installed the LED lights. Could I have figured out the odometer repair? Sure with lots of time and effort. Tim did so much more than I ever could have in a very short amount of time. I am cheap and it was hard to shell out the bucks but man it is worth the investment.
