Trip Meter - Broken Gear - 1984 242

[Dave]

The trip meter and odometer quit a week ago and I assume it is a chipped
gear after reading various threads on the internet. It was like this wen
I got this car 7 years ago and I had it repaired. I'm guessing I pushed
the reset while I was moving which is a no no.

I have found several sources for this part. What is the best recommended
source for a quality gear?

How difficult is it to replace. I have replaced the clock so I have had
the instrument cluster out.

Thanks,

Dave

I replaced mine using a kit from IPD. It included the gear and a CD showing
exactly how to locate, access and replace the gear. Costs a little more than
just the gear alone, but I felt it was worth it for a first time venture. It
is not difficult once you see how it all goes together. Check ipdusa.com
