There are only three or four solder points so thats a low probability of fouling up.
I would replace the capacitors and see what that does. Perhaps the new gears added additional drag on the motor causing it to require more torque/current from the capacitors and if they were marginal to begin with the additional load might make them slow down..
Maybe. Just speculating.

Hi,
good news: the speedometer issues have been resolved!
I changed the capacitors earlier today (and learned a 220uF, 50V one is far too big
) and the speedometer is super accurate again (probably even more accurate than GPS.. ;-)) ).
The only thing that is now a little bit bothering, I hear a constant click-click-click sound from the odometer. The movement of the number is not fluent anymore, but more like in small increments. The odometer is still accurate, though.
Could this be a sign of a faulty motor or of another part on the board that might have gone south??
Thanks a lot for your continued help!
