ok so this will probably work for all s14 cars 95-98 as well i dont know. but here we go live and learn. i bought a new cluster for my car and had this old one to get rid of..... EBAY wooooo. so i post it up and realize nobody wants an odo with 230k miles on it so i did some research... nobody knew how to do this and several broke it... so captain common sense comes and saves the day step one is remove the gauge from the cluster. not to hard 3 screws and a cover and tada gage is out so here is where i started and btw do not i repeat do not take the faceplate off unless you know a way to avoid breaking the tension spring under the plate. the deal that holds the spedo back so it goes to 0 when your done driving. and here it is after this dumbass broked it

SO DONT DO IT LESS YOU KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

first all you need is a screwdriver and a needle nose pliers, maybe scotch tape unless your some kind of bad a**ok step 1 remove gauge from clusterstep 2 DONT REMOVE FACEPLATEstep 3 pull the shafting steel rod out of the sprockets and take a notice of how they are in there after they all fall out the numbers move freely.... a lil too freely so use some tape to make them perfect and line them up through the view hole on the faceplate



and there you go you just did it better than me cause mine is broke... unless you cant follow the directions i so poorly gave you and broke yours worse than mine..... but there it is ppl the easiest way i know to reset the odometer without breaking it to pieces....and it can be reset the way i described with the faceplate on cause i did it after i broke it to make sure that way works so dont tell me its too hard... ok all enjoy now you can set your actuall motor millage on your sr,ca,rb whatever new miles your makin ok
