????

The first thing that happens when the reset button is press is
the drive gear is lifted so the tripometer is now "de-clutched".
As the button is pressed further, the gears spin back to zero.
When the button is released, the last action is to re-engaged
the odometer drive to the tripometer. 

It's like shifting gears than locking the brakes. Sure, it causes
wear - but so does pulling out of the driveway. Or sitting in
the seat.
