One more thing. Before the odometer stopped yesterday morning, it was reading about 10%-20% too low. I think it has been reading low since I replaced the large gear, but don't know for sure. I didn't count teeth on the replacement gear, but I believe all models use the same gear in this application. Is that true?

There were about 6 diffrent gears to choose from when I ordered mine. I assume it has to do with diffrent trannys and rear end gearing. As far as manually changing the odometer reading, that would require a complete disection, of which I have no experience with.
