You need new gears which are easy to install yourself www.odometergears.com
To remove instrument cluster: #1 get metal coat hanger #2 cut two straight pieces about 6" long #3 put a 90 degree bend in each about 1/4 inch up from one end making an "L" #4 put one "L" on left side of cluster one on right. Push the small part of "L" inbetween cluster and dash. Twist each one such "L" is pointing towards center of cluster. #5 Pull. Cluster comes out and you can disconnect stuff on back. Then side out from behind steering wheel. Not that I found that for all the cars I have played with you can just grab instrument cluster by hand, no metal hooks or "L" things, and just pull out.

Yes the speedometer still works. It happened after I reset the trip OD. Multiple trip OD resets have not cleared it. I want to remove the spedo and have it repaired (there is a local; shop that has worked on various MC spedo's for me that seems to be competent. I have been reading the PDF (from the indiees) numbered 54-250 R and R instrument cluster. Some of the instructions are a little sparse, like steering wheel . remove, reinstall. And the use of Extractor hook PN 126 589 03 33 00. Is an extractor hook something I can make / improvise. Do I need to remove the steering wheel? If so what is the best way to go about it.
