Supercharged964

I'm no stranger to replacing Porsche odometer gears. I've done it over the years to my first 944, then my 911, then my 914, then my 964, and now my 951. Except this time is different. The odometer gears in my 951 keep jamming up somehow. I replaced the disintegrated gear like in all the other cars, but this one keeps locking up the odometer. I've opened up the cluster 4-5 times now because the gears jam up somehow after about 200-500 miles. I free them up, look yet again for any debris, put it back together, and all is good. For a few hundred miles. I even had Pelican send me another replacement gear in case the first one was defective, but no luck.

I'm ready to just swap to another speedometer cluster. Any ideas?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

When your main odometer jams, does your trip odo continue to work?... Bruce

Yes, both the main and trip odometers lock up.

I have since taken them apart yet again, and this time I added a tiny washer to the main odometer tumblers to act as a shim to take up some excess slop in there.

So far so good. We'll see how long it holds.

I think that might work... I used a bread-tie the first time...Bruce
