I had exactly the same problem with the odometer gear crack, and did the same as you: Glued the crack, and fixed the gear to the the shaft with some loctite. My theory is that these damages may happen if you try to reset the trip counter whilst driving. The trip counter and the odometer are obviously connected, and you are not really supposed to reset when in motion. It can put a strain on the gears - and that gear is clearly a bit fragile The repair was successful, and I haven't had any issues since - but I also never reset my trip counter anymore, just to be on the safe side
Thank you for the video. I know you were saving us time by speeding this up during the more tedious parts but I would have liked to have seen those also.
I can do my best if there is something specific you were looking for, but most of the parts I skipped just require a steady hand and a little bit of patience
My w201 has same issues where the gear has pushed out. But how do I remove the gear to scor the shaft and put loctite. When I try to remove it the shaft comes with it. I’m afraid to remove the whole gear with shaft. Not sure if everything will fall to pieces.
Your fear is valid because that’s exactly what will happen. I have an older video I made of diving a little deeper into just the odometer portion. Look in my videos around 2019 timeframe you will find it. But the short answer is find a drillbit is the closest size to the shaft so then you can pull the shaft out and put the drillbit in its place holding everything together.
How do you remove the lense without cracking it. I wanted to do the background of my cluster in burl wood but I hear its nearly impossible to remove the lense.
The proper way is to preheat your oven to 150F and put it in there at your discretion of time. If I recall less than 10 minutes should do it. There is a glue you are trying to loosen by doing this. Perform at your own risk
That is a strange one check for custom wiring or anything like that maybe a problem with the relays you might have other things that don't work check for common denominators and swap for another clock if you can if nothing else
I just went to my local craft store. Even places like Walmart sell it. I recommend a darker orange than what I used for that crisp OEM look. If I have to take mine apart again that's what I will do. Make sure you use something with a matte finish or it won't look right.

Extreme patience and perseverance. Good Job!
Thank you! Lots of hours into just this part of the car. Seems like it's paying off

Hi where did you get the replace,rmy LCD screen? Thanks
What did you do with the cluster box? Did you just repaint it in the matte paint or did you wipe it down/use vinegar like you did with the faces?
Second one. I put it in scalding hot water with vinegar and baking soda and scrubbed the crap out of it for like 30 minutes
@@TheRustedGarage Thanks, I'm going to try that!
Very nice video. Such a great job
This is the most handy video I saw on TH-cam. Mose of the mechanic are just experienced labor instead of ME engineers.
What buff did you use for your screen? I need to do the same for mine.
The clear cluster plastic? Honestly I took the buffer pad from a headlight polish kit and used the same compound from that kit
How do you earth the cluster clock
I’m not sure which wire but I believe the whole cluster gets a ground from that large plug toward the left side

Good job.. Can I send you mine ?
The surgeon at work!
Apparently ..
come hai tolto il vetro?
essere sicuro e farlo a proprio rischio. preriscaldare il forno a 200 gradi F e lasciare agire per 5-10 minuti. la colla dovrebbe allentarsi.
my clock when the engine is OFF and stop working when engine is ON. why is that so? hope you would help
That is a strange one check for custom wiring or anything like that maybe a problem with the relays you might have other things that don't work check for common denominators and swap for another clock if you can if nothing else
I'm guessing the capacitors need replacing on the clock.

Any link to the needle paint you used?
