Thanks Rox, Matt and all involved for this fix. Worked perfectly. Virtual cheeseburgers and beer to all.

Thanks Rox, Matt and everyone else for the feed back and alot of help from Mike S.C. for the additional photos dealing with Odometer Unit without a wire but as mine with a (4) prong plug. I used a paint can opener to unplug. The offset on the can opener worked well.

Everything went as clock work. After installation and test drive I noticed the 1/10 ths do not roll smoothly but rachets almost like a pulse. It advances as it should metering every mile as soon as it clicks to '0'. Is this rachet/pulse as opposed to smooth a characteristic of Volvo odometers? I'd like someones feedback.

Thanks,

Jeff

Uggh. Now that all you guys chimed in saying it was easy, I am going to have to do it. Ordered my gear today.

I purchased the new odomoter gear and installed using these directions. On my test drive I notice that the odomoter whole mileage is now clicking over when the trip meter clears .5 instead of .9. Do I need to reinstall the gear in a position 180 degrees opposite of where it is now? Amy suggestions?

I"m not sure that I"m following you.

MIJ what he's saying is that the miles (odometer) increment when the 1/10th mile gear (trip meter) shows "5", instead of when it shows "9".

So rtasket, yes, I -- without having ever seen the gears so take my advice with a grain of salt -- would agree that you need to turn the gear 180 degrees.

Thanks for the quick replies. Unless I hear otherwise I will try this solution.
