I disassembled and cleaned up my speedometer over the winter, but it has died a permanent death. Odometer still works fine so I know its not the cable. I have ordered a new speedo assembly, but it comes with the odometer set to all zeros. Any pointers of how to set the numbers to the current odometer reading when I install it?

Should be able to pull it out and rotate the little metal tabs between each digit to advance them (without spinning the whole thing for miles and miles and miles)

It's been a while sense I plaid with mine, but I had no problems presetting it before installing the actual odometer number/counter assembly.

I once hooked an electric drill to the trans end of the cable and ran an odometer a few thousand miles to get what I wanted. If I were doing it again I'd take it apart and reassemble with the numbers I needed.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
