    odometer problem fixed!

    A nice gentleman in TX sold me a 94/95 v6 cluster with a mileage very
    close to mine (101K vs 108K) which I just installed. About 30 mins work
    which included swapping the bezel and clear front from the old to the
    new gauge pod as mine has an aluminum inlay and the new pod's clear
    part was badly scratched (Which he told me about beforehand)

    Just took a test drive, and both odo and trip are working! Not bad for
    not even $35 including shipping. I now wven have a spare bezel which I
    am considering painting aluminum to match my inlay.

    Now I can see hwo many miles I put on pony again. :-)

    Paul,

    pod......................

    Not that handy I fear. Not about ready to disassemble that cluster and
    run the risk of breaking it... :-) Thanks for the tip though...
     
     

    I looked at that but haven't figured out how to do it. No data on it to
    be found anywhere, neither Chilton no rmy Ford service manual...

    I don't know that I'd sweat 7K miles.

    If you really wanted to run some mileage up, you could probably remove the
    vehicle speed sensor from the transmission and spin it using a rotary tool
    for a few hours/days with the key switched on. This would register speed
    and mileage and get you back to where you should be. It's some work, but
    you don't have to tear the dash back apart, nor figure out how to get the
    odometer apart.

    I'm not really sweating it, but it's an inconvienence as I keep a
    mileage log for tax reasons. Not worth mucking with that sensor. Doing
    the gauge cluster removal is easy. 10 minutes work. If you can get the
    headlight switch off that is. :-) Done it about 3 times now...
