Bob most likely the damage was caused by a trip meter reset while moving,replacement gears can be sourced on ebay but that was a while back if I remember they were like $20 +,however if you don't do the work yourself to replace it it can be a reasonably expensive repair if you farm the work out.
Considering the cost of a good used unit replacement may be a better option but you may want to have it read the correct current mileage of your car. What is actually wrong with your gauge?,have you checked the cable as it could be broken internally,you can test that by carefully turning the square drive CCW @ the gauge end and if you feel resistance it is fine,if it continues to turn it is broken. Try that and report back cheers. |
