So I was comparing my two Odo's that I have (the one from my 260E) and one I nabbed from the junkyard.

Problem is that my one does not spin. I saw that the total mileage counter seems to move left+right slightly instead of being a solid unit.

Here's where I am talking about. I can physically move the green cog back and forward. Left to right while facing the unit.



Anybody know what could be causing the main shaft to be moving back and forth?
I mean I can always roll back the other one I have to match as it works fine...but I'd kinda like to figure this one out.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Robert
