Gotta buy a new one. You got a gear stripped in your speedometer cluster. I suppose you could repair it, but finding the right gear would be rather difficult. </P>


***edit*** Maybe it could be a stripped speedo gear on your cable in the tranny, check that first</P><edited><editID>mdvaldosta</editID><editDate>37904.5041319444</editDate></edited>

I say throw away the car and get a new one. The odometer or speedo gear is gonna cost at least 10k to replace.</P>


Don't mind me I drank too much caffine...</P>
