Odometer has failed on my S....any recommendation on what culprit might be the best to check out first?

Thanks in advance...

 

incredable .. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine failed yesterday ..!!

will keep an eye on this thread .....

 

I went through this in the past year, as well as a few others IIRC. Basically, there is a white gear inside the speedo that is prone to failure. It drives your odometer. You can search prior posts on this and it is well documented. There is a guy in Chesapeake,VA who sells a new improved version of the gear for ~$25.00. Or you can send it to Palo Alto Speedo for repair for somewhere in the neighborhood of $200.00+.

seems to be the way to go ................

 

I AM ORDERING TODAY THE GEAR ...
LET´S SEE IF I DONT CRAP THE WHOLE UNIT !!!
I HOPE NOT !!!

 

Just follow the P-Car thread and go very slowly. You'll have it repaired in a couple of hours. Removing the tabs to open it up is the hardest part.

 

Very common particularly in the hot humid climate where I live. Had the gear (from Jeff at Odometer Gears LTD; highly recommended) replaced on both cars, works fine!

Thanks everyone for the posts...I'll order the gear tomorrow...

 

Got the gear today:

 

Mine quit last Saturday. Off to No. Hollywood speedometer on Tuesday, repaired and back home today, $130. 818-761-5136 No affiliation ..

 

Took about a hour to remove and reinstall the speedometer and replace the gear. Most of that time (about 40 minutes) was spent carefully removing the trim ring to avoid scratches. $29 including shipping.

 

Congrats Robert. Nice to see those dials moving again isn't it? I was really worried the first time I cracked my speedo open. I just imagined springs and gears flying everywhere. (Based on a bad experience trying to "repair" a fishing reel when I was about 10 years old.) Glad to see people getting better results out of this r&r.
