Trip Meter Failed on The ROCKET

[larry mcgrath]

The trip meter has quit working on my car, I have a spare spedo but its 85 MPH ,with a good trip meter,only 160,000 miles on it,so the trip meter looks like new. Has anyone ever swaped trip meters? Looking for info, if no repair info I'll be looking for a new 110MPH speedo Larry

The trip meter is bad on Buck too, and I haven't taken it apart yet to see what is going on.

I pulled apart my spare spedo to take a look, and thats as far as I've gotten. Larry

Reviving an old thread because there are no other threads on this here, surprisingly.

I have a spare cluster but the trip meter didn’t work on it. It would work for a bit then get stuck at random numbers. That bugged me because I always track my fuel economy.

I finally got around to taking it apart but initially couldn’t see anything wrong. I lubed all the gears and lobes with silicone spray but it still didn’t seem to work right. Finally I noticed a thin plastic bar that runs below the trip meter numbers was broken at one end. I circled the break in red in the picture above, hopefully you can see it (that was the closest pic I could take without it getting blurry). I krazy glued it back together and it seems good now. I’ll put the cluster back together and put it in my car soon and report back.
