Ok... So, I sold this car a few years ago. I was seeing it occasionally after we moved farther South. Today I saw the guy I sold it to, filling it up at the local Flying J! He said the car is great and has no real issues at all. He has just replaced all the shocks, tires and some various little things. The car now has over 330,000 miles on it and the ODO has just stopped working AGAIN! I can hardly remember fixing any of this now, but if anyone can refresh my memory that would be great. He lives only a few miles from me and I am going to offer to fix it for him this weekend since I am familiar on how to take all of that apart without breaking anything.

Seems like I remember that if the speedometer is still working, then one of the plastic gears is broken or the brass or pot metal gear is spinning on the shaft? Does that sound correct? A plastic gear will need to be replaced and the brass or pot metal gear can be re-used after the shaft has been removed and roughed up? We will also need to advance the mileage based on a rough estimate of the miles he has been driving to and from work every day. I remember doing that before... BUT, I cannot remember how I did that.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated!
