Re: Odometer (bbeck)
I have a '69 with the same problem - trip odometer and reset not working - but odometer and speedometer are OK. I have not looked into the problem as of yet, so I am also interested in any response to the question.

Re: Odometer (bbeck)
Sometimes the trip set needs to be pulled down to get it engaged again.
Mine sticks once in a while when I set the trip.
I need to giggle and pull down some on the trip mechanism to get it to engage the speedometer.

Re: Odometer (bbeck)
any ideas why my odometer and trip won't work on my 69? My speedo works fine. Anyone else have this problem?
Good luck!

Re: Odometer (bbeck)
It isn't that hard to install once you get it out. THAT is the tough part.
Disassembling that side of the dash is a MAJOR PITA. You need to loosent he bolts holding the steering column up, drop the column down, remove the cables from the speedo & tach, disconnect the cables that are strapped tot he back of that side of the cluster and somehow pull that whole side of the cluster out. Once you do that it's a matter of some screws and workign your way in there. If you're relatively mechanically inclined, it shouldn't be that bad...once you get the speedo out.
Good luck! (you'll need it :D )

Make a list if there's anything else you want to do while you're in there and have that side of the dash apart.

Re: Odometer (bbeck)
I replaced my odometer drive gear last month( same symptoms) and it really is quite simple. There's no tricks to it, just a matter of taking your dash apart and putting it back together again. Good luck!!
