my 85 does this as well.

My trip odo gets to 9 miles then won't click over to 10. I've pushed
the button a couple times, but maybe the thing is shot. The button is
also not the best I've seen, almost as though it's pushing into a
void.

Push the reset button in and let it snap back out, this usually clears it.

This happens once in a while on my 300D, doesn't seem to cause any trouble 
other than that the trip odometer doesn't record.

If the odometer starts to slip (not record milage) but doesn't make any noises, 
it's time to glue the zinc drive gear back on -- this will eventually happen, I 
believe, to all VDO odometers someday.  Easy fix, seems permanent.

Do NOT reset the odometer while the car is moving, this will evetually cause 
the zinc gear to start slipping.
