I don't want to run into trouble with inspection time here in Delaware.
The odometer portion is stuck and I need to have it repaired or replaced. I certainly don't want to be accused of "setting back" the milage. What are my options? |

If the speedo is working, the speedo drive (the angle drive and the cable) is working. It's a relatively common failure for the odometer to stop counting; it is generally caused by a pot-metal gear inside the odo starting to slip on its shaft. It is originally pressed on, but the pot-metal deforms over the years, especially if the odo is reset while the car is moving.
