Odometer stuck @ 108K Miles? Help

Odo in my '94 'Boid LX V8 "stuck" at 64k mi.

My local dealer wanted about $220 for a new speedo with mileage preset (before labor). Maybe $320 installed.

I found a 94 V6 in a junkyard, got the cluster. Then toyed with the broken speedo to see if I could work on it. I couldn't get anything done with it. You'd have to see it ...

So I installed the junkyard speedo, and my odo mileage went from 64k to 222k in a matter of minutes, and without s'much as turning the ignition key. :-)

If you have to go that route, take pictures of the

2 speedos together to document what you're doing. Look for state forms for speedo/odo change. May be illegal in certain states. May be illegal to breathe, I just dunno.

If its stuck, there is no repair, just replacement. If you want an estimate call the dealership that you think will perform the repairs, but probably around $500 for the repairs..

$500 is 60% the value of the car. At that's with a full tank of gas!

Well clusters arent cheap, and some require factory to set the odometer before sending to dealer.

Is the speedometer working? (I assume it's a mechanical Spedo/ODO) If so the ODO gears may be worn out, then I'd pull it and try to get a working used one. You may be able to transplant parts.

The only other way is to scout the boneyards for a cluster with a similar mileage. It may or not be good once you find one, especially on a car of this vintage.

I found an entire cluster with dissimilar mileage for $16 and a little wrench-time.

Incidentally, the cluster is all "electronic", but the linkage between the speedo and odo is gear-driven and enclosed in plastic frame.

Speedometer does work. Odometer stuck @ 108,101 miles I wonder if that number means something weird?
