DIGITAL INFO MILEAGE GOING CRAZY 850 1994

Pulled the instrument cluster to replace the broken odometer gear. Tried to adjust odometer up to correct mileage. Unfortunately using dremel tool as shown on You Tube to adjust odometer wheels caused one to break a tooth so now regular odometer is junk.
My problem is that the digital odometer is showing mileage increasing in 10's at a very rapid rate. That's the one switched by the "info" knob. Anyone have a clue before I pull the cluster back out?
Thank you in advance!!

    If one of the digit wheels lost a tooth, look for another cluster in a junk yard. It is easy enough to take out the odometer, set the miles, and put it into yours.

    You must have a turbo model. My 1996 cluster does not have the third plug in the top of the cluster for the info knob. I would have liked to put that on my car, it is fun to have.

    The digital Odo advances fast for the first mile or so, Something other than miles, then it jumps to miles. See if yours behaves like that.
    The "Odometer gears" place in Virginia says that there's two gears that break often.
    The smaller pinion with just a few teeth goes first and the one it mates with
    goes next. The good news is that it's easy to change the gears.
