When I was having trouble with my tripometer, I took out the little gear between the odometer and the trip. Later the odometer gave me trouble and found a local shop that repaired speedometers and it turned out it only needed cleaned and re-lubed ($50 or 60). The guy noticed that the little gear was gone and reinstalled one and when I asked him where he found a replacement, he said it's just a standard VDO (if I have that right) instrument. I still had the little gear so I gave it to him to replace the one he used but it sounds like any speedometer shop could help you. Bill H.
