I thought they only did up to 1989 cars... but good call. Let me check with Pelican and will post results here.

Talk to Tom Gould (Pelican partner). Pelican has many Porsche parts sources.

My odometer stopped working yesterday, and I'll be taking a look at it sometime this weekend. FWIW, I found this supplier of replacement gears for odometers: http://www.odometergears.com/porsche.html I haven't used them (yet), but thought it might make a good addition to this discussion.

I replaced the gears on my odometer last year. I was resetting when I fuelled up after a trip. Drove it home 6 miles and parked it until I got the gears. The factory ones had gotten soft due to the grease used. The new gears from odometer gears are a different material and shouldn't fail. Not difficult to do yourself, about $50 for the set. Took about an hour to do. Make sure you get all of the old red gear pieces out of the mechanism. Replace both gears if you do it yourself. Or you can send it out as Wachuko did.
