[Vwdiesel] odometer stopped working

Let's just hope it doesn't get to that point.

  You may not be so glad about that connector when it gets brittle and
breaks, certainly not pleasant when it's a 4KQ and replacements are
expensive, if you can find them.

Well, I got the cluster out and looked it over to find that the red gear
hich runs off the shaft gear that runs off the main worm drive gear was
hifted over and not touching the shaft gear.  It had some friction to it hen
I pushed it back over so it isn't like it is really loose. Maybe just ne of
those things with all the miles on it that it moved over to the point hat it
no longer made contact.  I was able to function check it with a rill to make
sure it worked before I put it in. As we would say in the Air orce  NDN, (no
defects noted) All in all it took me 45 minutes total from start to finish.
Not as bad as  was scared it would be. The link that Ken1 posted was
informative.  Just lad that the speed cable was just a snap connection to
the back of the luster and not threaded. My big hands had a rough time as it
was getting ff and on, even with slacking the cable from the transmission.
Thanks for all the help. I don't post much, more of a lurker since I don't
ave to many issues and experience like most of you.
Nick
