This is an inherently weak gear in the Odo. Getting a used replacement is questionable, since it would be as old. Rumor has it the problem comes from resetting the trip odo while the car is moving. There used to be replacement gear... same NOS, but seem to have dryed up. There are a couple of rebuild companies... one is Palo Alto Speedos in Palo Alto Ca... spendy and probably using the original gear.
