The odometer has broken - where do I get the replacement gears? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Hugh on  Mon Nov 20 12:32 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hello All,

I have a '96 850 GLT wagon with a 5 speed manual. With 245,000 plus miles on clock, the the odometer and trip distance read out have stopped working. I'm pretty sure it is the grear that turns the odometer digits that failed.

I recall seeing ads from some company stating the original odometer gears supplied by Volvo were defective - to soft? Any way, this company claimed its ogears were far superior to those offered by Volvo. I need to know:

1) What is the name of this company and how do I contact them?
2) Are its gears really better than Volvo's OEM?
3) How much do they cost?
4) How do you install these gears? Is there a series of photos showing "How to" on Bay 13 or some similar site?

I'm not driving the car till I get this fixed, so I'd appreciate your responses as soon as you can Thanks in advance.

Hugh
