Default odometer not working....odometer gear?

Hello all. First time posting here.
Well, odometer on my 1991 944 S2 is not working. However, speedometer is working. After searching the board, I found out that odometer gear is probably bad.
However, all the odometer gears I found on the internet are for pre-89 944s.
could someone give me an advise on this?
Thanks!

sounds like the gearwheel has been stripped.
generally your not suposed to re-set the trip counter whilst driving very fast. honest !

as for the gearwheel its a OEM part only

hmm, i don't know why they would be different. i changed the gear on mine about 3 months ago. pretty easy switch if you know how to remove the instrument cluster. check www.rennbay.com for their gear and instructions.

Thanks for quick replies!
So is gearwheel different from odometer gear?
I searched few places including rennbay. However, their website says "All gears are for the non-cable driven odometers up to model year 1989" and my car is 1991....
So I figured my car has different setup???

I'm still looking for an answer to my odometer problem..... I know its probably the odometer gear..but I can't find one for my 1991 944 S2. All of the gears I found says they are for pre-89 944s.

Anybody can help with this? Thanks!

Oh, sorry about that. The Rennbay gear should work with the S2 models as well.
But, the website is down for right now. Just check back tonight , it should be back up and running.
