Odometer!!!

the odo in the 240 has been testy for a month or so. It rolls fine, but every now and again it sticks when it gets to XX9.9 miles. Btw, I am referring to the trip meter, not the gross mile meter.

When the trip meter sticks, the big odometer stops working as well. Most of the time I can fix it just by resetting the trip meter...sometimes that doesn't work, and it refuses to start registering miles until I've stopped paying attention to it, and have driven however many miles down the road.....I think that it's gotten away with at least 500 miles just by doing this...and when your mercedes is less than 2k from rolling over the BIG 2, every miles counts.

Anyway...is there anyway that I can fix this? Because it still works, it just sticks...maybe an inexpensive solution, like some kind of lubricant or something I need to tweak. That statement was an innuendo...
