So this is strange. I don't have a working odometer or trip odometer, but my speedometer works fine. I'm assuming that it's a broken gear... it stopped working about 100 miles ago, and the car had basically been sitting for 8 years before I bought it. If that's the case, is the gear replacement an easy task? I mean, I'm fine without a working odometer, but it feels a little sketchy.

Gear replacement is easy. Just a good idea to go ahead and get all of them while you're at it, not just the broken one/s.

99.9% of e30s have broken odometers, the only reason why you would want one is timing belt and re-sale, but it really isnt worth the hassle IMO..
