The odometer gear has stopped functioning a short while ago, in my ’80 SC. A common problem so I’ve read. A number of places offer replacement gears, but my concern is properly documenting a home repair of the speedo, without raising the question in future, that the speedo/mileage has been tampered with.
Any suggestions, other than shipping it out to a shop?
just saw your post- kinda late.
Go to odometergears.com they sell a replacement better then OE and ships in a couple of days
They have a video to walk you through the replacement.
I did it – took me about an hour
Cheers,

This was timely for me, for my ’83 SC – got the part from odometergears.com and followed the instructions – worked! Thanks for the tip, very helpful. And, I was able to manually run the mileage forward to account for the distance I drove the car while it was not working!
