about 10 miles ago the odometer stopped wotking after I reset it to zero, The speedo still work. I assume they are driven together. Any thoughts or suggestions as to how to repair

Palo Alto Speedometer repair in CA, They have a website. That's where mine's at right now. Two nylon gears in the guage will self destruct eventually. The speddo is independent, and will still work.

Remove it, and send it out to North Hollywood Speedometer. I used them once for this 20 years ago and had great service.

there is a DIY for this....try a search for: speedometer gears

There is a set of plastic gears that turn to goo after a few years and after one too many resets to zero the odometer stops. There are a couple DIYs here that you can search but taking the bezel off the odometer is best done by a pro IMHO. I sent mine to North Hollywood Speedometer, 6111 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91606, (818) 761-5136 and was very happy I did.

Here's the DIY:

I did it and it's pretty easy once you get the bezel off.

If you can change a watch battery you can change the gears

Just got my Speedo back today from N Hollywood speedometer. This time it was the odometer gears. It's super easy to pull speedo out and unplug. I got it back in a little over a week for $145 including shipping. They fixed the mph needle 10 years ago for me. Great service and way cheaper then $995 for a new one! The car runs fine while the speedo is out for repairs. To me, it's a big plus to have the actual mileage on your odometer, rather then going all the way to zero with a new one. I used the DIY posted here on Rennlist to remove it.

really -- dont believe this ...

Agree -- unless you can accept a not so pretty bezel afterwards
" There are a couple DIYs here that you can search but taking the bezel off the odometer is best done by a pro IMHO."

No really, If you can change a watch battery you really can change the gear. Stupid expensive part at 25 bucks for a bit of plastic but the repair takes about the same amount of time as putting it in a box.

If you are gentle, the FRONT of the bezel that you see is not damaged...you WILL bend up the back. Now, my bezel isn't back on as tight as it came from the factory....but you can't tell that without pulling it out of the dash.

However, for the $150...for many folks that's not a bad deal. Since I killed a light in the speedo when I did mine (and haven't fixed it yet...), that might have saved me time/money/anguish over all.

N Hollywood Speedo tests everything while they have it. Lights, needle, odometer etc. I am a huge DIY guy, buy I envisioned some how screwing something up and having to buy a new Speedo. I have kept my car all original and I like having that actual odometer reading. So to stay in the spirit, I removed it, mailed it and reinstalled it DIY.LOL. It works great

+1 for N. Hollywood Speedo. Quick turnaround and my speedo looks like new.
