If you do get a new cluster, you could open it up and roll the odometer to match your current odometer.

That will be great. Thank you

thank you, i will try to check the piece that is screwed into transmission and check VSS. If nothing works i will look for a cluster. I will keep you updated.

This piece screws into the base of the transmission where the cable attaches. If it is bad, it could cause some of your issues. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com/subaru/images/speedocablebase.jpg As mentioned, I highly doubt your mechanic will be able to successfully "rebuild" the spe...

As far as i know, they replaced the speedometer cable kit, i dont know if they replaced the part you are talking about.

I don't think they will rebuild the speedo. more likely replace it with a new/used unit. they could in theory swap over the odometer (actually they legally have to, right?). Found my thread where I dissected the speedometer . CEL is on probably because the VSS sensor is unhappy. Check the codes to ...

I forgot to mention that the check engine light is ON.

the speedometer/odometer are mechanically driven by the speedo cable from the transmissions. The cable spins a flat magnetic disc, which is how the speedo advances. It retracts by coiled spring steal wrapped around the shaft. Anyways if crap builds up and inhibits the shaft from spinning, etc it ca...

Hi, i dont know if this is the right place to psot about speedometers, if not i am sorry. Last year i bought an automatic 92 Subaru Legacy 4-2212 2.2L SOHC. I was blind and dumb, and i didnt follow the common tests you have to do before buying a car. Anyway i ended up finding that the speedometer an...

Thank you for your help. I thought there s a difference between the left and right axle shaft. Is there a good axle brand you may suggest? the mechanic choice was DTA. Autozone has Duralast and A cardone, also i found GSP and Fenco.

Hi, after taking my car a long time ago to be checked. The mechanic gave a list of things that need to be fixed or changed in my car, one of them is the front axle shaft, both sides. That cost 122.63$ for each side (245.26 $ in total) labor is 89 $. I am thinking to buy the axles somewhere and have ...

Hi, i am new here and want some help. I have a 1992 Subaru Legacy wagon LE. Engine:4-2212 2.2L SOHC.
