    68 odometer

    My 68 speedometer works, but the odometer is stuck on "0". Any ideas on what the problem probably is? Thanks.

    Most likely the gear that drives the odometer from the speedometer is stripped. In any event, it's a problem internal to the instrument. If the instrument has never been serviced or if it's been a long time, your best bet might be to remove it and send it off to a qualified instrument repair facility.

      If you mean the resettable tripmeter, probably the reset cable is stuck in the 'up' position.

        Mike makes a good point! The trip reset cable is spring loaded to 'snap' back to the fully extended and tripometer engaged position. Lack of use (periodic exercise) can result in a 'sticky' reset cable.

        BEWARE! If the reset cable winds up 'in between' its engaged and un-engaged positions (fully IN/fully OUT), you can generate gear 'clash' that'll burn the teeth on the drive gear and result in a speedo head rebuild...
