The best way to get your odo working again is to send it to me. I 
repair these for $50 plus return shipping. You can try to do it 
yourself, but there's an almost 100% chance that you'll break 
something and be asking for parts or a new speedo. Of course, the 
price goes up once you start breaking things.  ;-p

This is a common problem with all the later speedos with the trip 
odo. It took me a few years and a few mistakes before I figured out a 
reliable way to fix this and made the tools that allow me to do this 
without damaging other things.

By now, I've done dozens of these, and none have ever come back.

Pmail me if you're interested.
