SignUp Now!Well I took my new 145 speedo apart and found some silver plate looking thingys between each digit so I'm going to guess....yes.
Bummer....my old 85 mph reads 19,766 and my 145 one reads 22,106....was hoping to do the swap this afternoon. And make the new one read the old one.
Guess that's 2340 miles I need to drive this thing then...dang I'm ansy to get this new speedo in.
The replacement odometer can be set identically to the original odometer with precision - it's just a matter of knowing what you're doing. There is a small clip that holds the clock movement center shaft into the frame of the odometer, and it slides out once the clip is removed. Be aware that the seal, which is a flimsy plastic strip, is easily damaged, so be careful with that. New ones are not available...this seal provides alignment of the numeric wheels and is the part that breaks when someone tries to force the numeric wheels to read a non-legitimate number.
Thanks John....do you have a pic of this clip? I don't have the speedo apart and just want/need to know what I'm doing before I do it.
if you didnt want to put the miles on the car, you could probably hook up the new speedo, unplug the VSS, hook it up to a drill, and let it rip until it matches your factory one. Might work. Or you could put it on a bumper jack in reverse like Ferris Bueller. JK.
