odometer repair help

MustGT98allday · October 15th, 2010, 12:04 AM

so my odometer does not work and I know there are these repair kits out there. I was wondering if anyone has used them and if it is fairly easy. also i found on one site it says on fords with side by side odo and trip you will need two sets? Is this correct? This is the link

Odometer Gears and Speedometer Gears for Ford and Chevy

Thanks

my 96 needs the same repair. The ODO and Trip stopped working

ya... It sucks, especially when your gas gauge doesnt work properly either haha. I was about to buy the repair kit from latemodelrestoration but was looking around first and found that website i posted above saying you will need two of them to fix the problem. I bought another gauge cluster with a working one but when i put it in the gas and temp gauges are worse than mine

so now im thinking about just fixing my odo and trip but want to make sure i really need two before going to buy them

i would take a look at your speedo gear (on your trans) the aftermarket ones are notorious for eating themselves up and failing.

MustGT98allday · October 20th, 2010, 09:15 PM

ok...so where exactly am i looking and what does it look like. What should i look for.

tfofkyle · October 21st, 2010, 12:58 AM

drivers side of trans - something like this

MustGT98allday · October 21st, 2010, 12:23 PM

well wouldnt this actually not effect me because i put in a different gauge cluster and the odo and trip worked?

im sorry - is your speedo working still? if so then youll probably need this:

ya...ma speedo is still working (its off but works) and I was going to get it but I found another website that says i need two kits. Is that true? or do i just need one. And do you know how easy it is to put in

tfofkyle · October 22nd, 2010, 05:32 PM

sorry - no personal experience with it myself. i dont see why you would need two kits, but best of luck with it.

MustGT98allday · October 22nd, 2010, 05:35 PM

thannks. i think for now im just gonna stick with the other one i put in. i have taken out the gauge cluster too many times now haha

i had this same problem a couple months ago and got that same kit from LRS worked perfect not had a problem since!

MustGT98allday · October 22nd, 2010, 07:40 PM

how easy was it to do?

john98 · October 22nd, 2010, 10:49 PM

It very easy. Google is your friend

wannabeimportkiller · October 22nd, 2010, 10:51 PM

A monkey could do it blind folded. Had the same problem. The hardest part is taking the cluster out

MustGT98allday · October 23rd, 2010, 09:29 PM

oh well thats good cuz that is really easy ( i have done it probably ten times by now haha) thanks guys

silver98mustang · October 26th, 2010, 07:22 PM

Same thing happened to mine. Remove the gauge cluster and get to where you can see the speedometer gear. It is probably shot. Go here and buy a new gear. Odometer Gears | 72 Croatan Road | Newport News, VA 23606 | 757.593.3478
