Let me know. Thanks.

I don't think there is really such a thing as a speedometer repair shop.

What is the problem?

That is a good question.

Mine is off too, by about 5-10 kph at 120kph.

I think the only way to fix it is to make sure your tire size is correct. That is why mine is off I think.

Or get a GPS, it'll tell you your true speed.

I had a cluster apart once while doing something else and while being bored I tried spinning numbers back. You can spin the meterson the trip meter which will spin the odometer too. Takes too long though.

It is not illegal as long as the new cluster is reset to what ur old cluster was. you just have to fil out the proper paper work.

Or you can just remove the odometer and place it in the new cluster. No paperwork or hassles.
