Odometer

[psmith0803]

Does anyone know if you can take an early 88-90 odometer apart and reset it? I know they generally try and prevent this to prevent fraud but I was curious if a person was motivated if he could pull it off. I have a car with original 88k miles but I bought a new cluster and I'd really love for it to report correctly.

Thanks!

Yes it can and has been done. I've done that service several times for other members.

Is there a way to do it without breaking the plastic clips lol I hot glued the shaft ends to the plastic holder after the clips broke

Yup, my method doesn't involve removal of the barrel.

When I did the tach cluster swap on Tweak, I used the original non tack speedometer assembly. I had to file the gauge face a bit and install the trip meter from the tack cluster. This made the mileage accurate to the car, and gave the car both a trip and tenths on the odometer, which we didn't get in this country.

Suggested reading if you want to know how the gauges work and also how to repair them : Magnetic Speedometer Repair by Graham Blighe.
It is available online for $27.00. It is becoming harder to find people to work on the old style gauges and the repair prices have gone up accordingly.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll see what I can do with it later this week.

There's a reason I'm not posting my method is the potential legal ramifications, and possible miss use.

If you like I can email you directly with pictures.
