'91 Z32 2+2 NA. Couple of weeks ago, filled up. 13MPG. Ugh. Few days ago, filled up, less than ten! After resetting trip counter, I noticed I only traveled 1.7 miles to work 9.5 mile away . . . . Seems my odometer is going south. Can this be repaired? Or, a source for a replacement. And how difficult to R & R. Is not major trauma to my enjoyment of car (after all, I drove MG's on which I think ododmeters were for decoration ) but would like to have working odo's. You folks have been great help in past. Hope to hear somethin'. Thanks!

I think you have to replace the whole gauge cluster from a donor, you might want to pull the speedo gear out of the trans and make sure it's not all chewed up or something before replacing whe whole cluster
