3 odometers, 3 gears, 3 repairs ...? 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be oldduke on  Thu Oct 23 08:57 CST 2014 [RELATED]

hi jon- did this job on my 240 back in 11. you may want to call jeff caplan at odometergears.com who sent me the gears. remember after doing the job , installing the new gears(2) and blowing out the fragments, it didnt work.asked dealer and he said to bring it in and they would fix it for $800. then called caplan about it and he said to let the unit run while driving the car and it may eventually start. i did for about 3 days and it did and has run right since. apparently the unit which uses what is called a magnet motor turns slowly with very little torque and may take a while to start after sitting. just my $.02. ps- what do you think i should do with the $800 i didnt spend? regards oldduke
