This is a step by step instructional video on how to fix an odometer & trip meter that have stopped spinning. While I’m working on a ’98 Ford Mustang, this video applies to ’94-’98 Ford Explorer, F150, F250, Mustang, Ranger, Taurus & Mercury Sable.
I show many tips & tricks as well as the simple hand tools needed to make this job quick, easy & painless. The actual labor part of this job takes less then an hour (even if you take your time).
The replacement gears I used are:
Standard Motor Products / TechSmart part # C82001

I wonder what's the difference between SMP #C82001 and DORMAN #924388, which Rockauto suggests as the only one? It seems only the price is different (i.e. 20€ vs. 40€). Nice job! Finding the other SMP part number saves me 20€ + tax + P&P. Thanks! 🙂
well done bro this common failure for ford @130k to150k miles i expected to see many more vids on it, thanx 4 one good one.
HI, I have a ford explorer 98 XLT and all the gauges are fine except the one that shows the speed, I already replaced speed sensor and still my speed gauge does not work, any suggestion?
Is a 94 Thunderbird the same way? I have to replace the odometer/trip meter hearts also.
Ok i have a 1998.ford mustang.3.8L,V6, standard…..my speedometer.stopped working.directly on top crossing the highest point of . Bridge taking you to Galveston island….I removed the whole odometer cluster panal.. opened it all up.. the gear was broken..the worm I replaced any ways……I also replaced.the speed sensor..twice thinking the first one was bad.. Everything on the odometer cluster is good I've managed to calibrate the needles light up the panel.and I cleaned up behind where u install the bulbs.. I straightened out any bent copper lines going to where your connections go….but no working Mph.Needle.the check engine light stays on …which says no reading from sensor…or faulty connection… what am I missing.or what do I do next.cuz I went balls out an replaced all lifters , pushrods.rocker arms .I bought a all out gasket I got everything.i replace all three of the different freeze plugs.i resurfaced the heads…. painted anything I could old Ford blue… like head covers.brackets an..I cleaned the air intake inside an out I got a new transmission.withba resurfaced flywheel….I installed a racing clutch.. there are three things I need to do.1is find any gear debris.. overlooked…an clean it again….2clean abs sensors on all four wheels.an …3make sure the gear that slides into the transmission.is good an verify if it's the correct one….
Great video. I use a small, round, felt polishing pad on a Dremel to rotate my odometer forward. Use low speed on the Dremel and lightly touch the pad to the drive gear. A 45 minute job adding 500 miles then becomes a two minute job.
Nice job explaining the process.
