NO ODOMETER, speedo works!!!!
Here's one for the books. I have 3 different instrument clusters, 2 of them are KPH for speed, and the other a 145 MPH U.S. style.
The trick here is none of the clusters will register mileage. The factory cluster has 29,000 km on it. I took it apart tonight to find the driver gear in the odometer, was melted. The speedometers ALL work great, and smooth but none have working odometers. WHATCHA THINK????????? I am at a loss. The 1987, and 1989 factory service manuals I have would suggest this cannot happen, unless the driver gears are all bad........... Is this normal for a car that sits for a longtime? My T/A sat for 8 years, the other KPH sat for 4-5 years, and the American spec is a longtime in the waiting. Thanks much.
