The odometer has broken - where do I get the replacement gears? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave on  Sat Dec 9 15:55 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I replaced the odometer gear on my '95 850 with a gear I purchased from www.odometergears.com for $25. I used the instructions for instrument panel removal found in "Bay 13" at Volvospeed.com. Very easy and straight forward. There is just one thing I would do differently.

On the odometergear.com web site, they discuss replacing both gears at the same time. I replaced the gear that most commonly fails and everything was fine - for about two years until it failed again (I think my son hit the reset button while the car was moving. This time, I ordered both gears. The one that failed this time was the one I hadn't replaced two years ago. The odometergears.com gears do appear to be of high grade plastic and replacing just one with a stronger one will probably result in the other failing at some point.
