Hey Uberwasser, thanks for that iFixit page. I came upon it by random months ago and now I understand that you are the author.
My trip odometer is 'lazy' and the tenths of mile number column stops at 4 and /or 8 otherwise the mileage odometer seems to work (but won't register when the trip odometer does not work).
When I reset the trip odometer, it works until it stalls on those numbers (so far).
I am hoping that cleaning it will resolve it.
Any tips?

This assumes a few things - for example, that you don't have a broken gear. However I think the slipping shaft is the more common reason for failure. But this guide helps you open it all up and if you find a broken gear you can post here and someone can help you find where to get a replacement. |
