    Odometer quit working, new gears to fix?

    Anyone have best place to buy the gears to fix the odometer?

    Also do the early cars (84-87) clusters work in the 88-91 cars? If the early ones work I may just grab one from the salvage yard...

    I bought mine from this guy, worked like a charm and cheap!

    Early and Newer clusters aren't the same, just get the new gears and fix it right :)

      Only things that can interchange between the early and late clusters are. The gas gauge,water and speedo.

            Thanks for the input guys. My e30 odo just stopped working when I went to reset the tripometer a few days ago...



            Maybe I should leave it, it's saying 82k miles

                I can't get ahold of the guy in Europe who had the gears on Ebay for like $25. Any idea where he went?

                I just got a cluster for $14 from the local boneyard so I might just swap that speedo into my cluster...

                  He puts them up on ebay often, I see he doesn't have any up now but try and email him again and leave him your email address and he should tell if you if he's got any in stock...

                    Looks like I need the small gear. I took the other speedo apart and it had a good larger gear but the small one broke apart...
