Mercedes: Odometer, drive shaft, spedo


Question
Can you please give me any information on how to repair the odometer on my 1978 450 slc.  The speedo works just fine.
Thanks very much for your time.

Answer
I have the reverse problem. The spedo is dead but the odometer still works. Honestly, I am not sure if the odometer is mechanical or not. If it is not mechanical and has a broken drive shaft, I expect that the whole display will need to be replaced.
My best suggestion is to post your questions at www.benzworld.net.
Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.
Good Luck
