I was driving around yesterday and after at least a few miles of my trip odometer saying 511 miles, I figured my odometer had finally bit it . Speedo worked OK, just both odometers were not turning.

Took the cluster out today and pulled the speedometer. I noticed that the shaft with the green plastic gear on the end (the one that engages with the worm gear) had slipped to the left a little and had come off the worm gear. The shaft slipped out of a little hole in the frame of the speedo on the right side of the odometer that keeps it straight. There seems to be nothing keeping it in that hole. Did something come off or is that just how it is? I didn't find anything rattling around in there. For now I figure I'll just slip it back into the hole and hope it doesn't pop out again.
