Try pushing the trip to zero a few times. If this does not bring her back
will have to remove and overhaul. Not a hard job. There are some DIY links
on how to do it (I do not have them handy but have seen them) or you can
send to Overseas Speedometer and for about $50-$70 hey can do it plus
shipping.

Subject: [MBZ] odometer skipping
This evening as I drove off in my 82 240D, I heard for the first time a
periodic clicking type sound coming from the instrument cluster. In
checking, I found that the trip odometer wasn't turning. I'm guessing
some gear wheel is not engaged properly with whatever it is supposed to
turn. What is the action to take to correct this? Am I further damaging
it by continuing to drive? Should I disconnect the speedometer cable to
avoid further damage? I cut short my trip and went directly back home, so
I don't know if this is affecting the main odometer. Looking for a
solution. Thanks in advance.
