Yeah, you need to take apart the odo gearbox, count the teeth, then
you can order a new set. Most joints want $70 for $2-3 worth of
gears. I managed to find someone on fleaby selling BMW gears for
$35. 2 of the 3 were right. the third gear was ok, so I just used
the old one.
It does have plastic gears (driven by stepper motor) and they get brittle
and break. There are several different tooth combinations so you need to
order the right set.

Subject: [MBZ] 83 300SD Odometer
The odometer is not working on my 83 300 SD, but the speedometer is. Took
out the instrument cluster and then remembered it is electronic and not
mechanical. I know how to fix the mechanical units that came in the 300D
series but not this one.
Anyone know how or can point me to a write-up?
Thanks
