    Both the VDO and Motometer gears go bad. It appears that the grease used degraded the urethane, turning it wax-like. Both must have used the same supplier.

    Both use the same 12 tooth pinion on the motor shaft, and that's usually the first gear to fail.

              One option if you're lazy like me is to call the guy at odometergears.com and have him walk you through it.
