I knew too much good was happening to me lately; I just don't have that kind of luck. I found a video that showed how to free-wheel the odometer to quickly set it wherever I wanted, which said the metal pin simply popped out of the plastic retainer... my retainer broke on both ends.

Before I broke it, I found that I could use a precision/jewelry screwdriver to turn a gear (the black one to the right of the 9 in the photo below) and slowly increase the mileage mile by single mile. Seeing as how I had something like 80,000 miles to add to this odometer to make it correct to my chassis, that was going to take ages, so I tried doing it the 'easy' way and fucked it all up. Maybe I can get it back together and superglue the plastic to hold it in place, but my hopes aren't high. At least this cluster only cost me $30, but as with the 4th gen shifters, clusters are always gone from 5th gens in the yards. Anyone have BB6 electrical schematics to be able to tell if the automatic's speedometer is interchangeable with the manual's? I'm not sure I want to keep spending money on these when my long-term goal is for an expensive custom cluster.

At least Monday is bringing me good news...
