There is a plastic gear that drives the odo from the speedometer. It gets loose and spins on the shaft instead of spinning the shaft. Do a search on Odometer repair. There is a great pictorial of how to fix this. If the gear is shot, you can either pull a speedo from the junkyard (that's what I did) or buy a new one. Do a google search for vdo odometer gears.

Havefun.
