hmmm... sounds like ur tripometer (not sure what the h£ll it's called) have a bad spring... i'd run to the junkyard (heaven if there are 240's there) and pick out a gauge cluster and swap the components and ur done. But fixing it would be a pain in the Äss.

Yeah, getting to the instrument cluster is a pain in the *** on the S13, but once you get it out, it is pretty easy to take apart. Maybe you could check it out before having to find a used one with the incorrect mileage on it.

is there a way to fix the bad spring ?... something i should fiddle with or nah... incase i mess up the whole cluster ? damn thing... i reset my miles today bc i got gas... 1.99 for regular !... i paid $10 and only got 5 gallons !... wth =(... im only gonna go about 100 miles before i have to fill up again... i think i get about 10 mpg... what about you guys ?

anyways... is it possible to try to fix by hand or just forget about it ?

agh, i have the same problem, but don't want to take the cluster apart.

my 1st and last #s would reset to 0 when i push it in... i think it's more of the plastic gears than the spring.
