trip odometer failure

[TMack409]

Well, I've been nursing it for awhile....having trouble getting it to start incrementing once it was zero'd out...

It stopped incrementing totally today, so I tore the instrument cluster out and removed the speedo assy itself. I appears that a tiny gear(s) assy broke off from its fragile mount - which was butt up against the trip odo numbers rollers.

I am pretty sure I can remove the arm that held the gear(s) assy. But I wonder what my chances are going to be - finding one in a breaker yard?

Or would you just replace the speedo assy altogether?? I hate that my mileage would then no longer be accurate if I did that but - a small price to pay compared to trying to reset the numbers - it's pretty tamper proof...

Oy, at 191,950 miles, who's counting anyways?

Wanna trade for 217?

I'd imangine toyotas odometer units are universal from car to car. As usual, if you could find a similar year camry it probably has the same gizmos inside the cluster.

Like, 1 in 10 times I'm at a bone yard I find an Avalon. The damn problem is they're all still on the road, running! xD

Aye, I just bought one on the cheap off of ebay - rattling noises going around inside when I unboxed it - not a good sign. Long story short, the trip odometer had failed just as mine had.....
