The car is completely torn down, I wanted to check the speedometer just for the heck of it, so I hooked up a cordless drill to the drive that attaches to the trans. When running the drill, the needle moves great but the odometer and tripometer don't do a thing. Also, when I turn the reset under the dash it will also advance the odometer one mile each time I reset it?????Thoughts?

There are companies you send the unit to who will fix it for you.

This is what it looks like inside. I could not afford to send it off, if you can that is what I would suggest also. But there are parts available.

John Bell just did my odometer. Great work and VERY communicative.
