one or what? >>

Find a spedometer repair shop; I pulled it myself on an old audi and paid
about $60 for the repair at some shop on Woodward Ave. in Royal Oak, MI.  You
can also repair it yourself; the likely problem is that a small gear has come
loose from the shaft or has cracked; repair it with superglue.  This is
addressed in the archives.
