Speedo Repair in Detroit Area
I have '87 Carrera and the odo is non functional. I pulled it apart to find the odo drive gear to be NFG. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement gear? How to remove and reinstall the speedo needle correctly? (it needs to be removed to replace the drive gear) Or a good Speedo shop in the Detroit area?
Thanks, Arnie |

You don't need anything in the Detroiit area. Mail it to Helmut, at North Hollywood Speedometer, you'll have it baqck in two days, fixed right.

As I remember, it's typically about $135 to fix/overhaul/lubricate/whatever a 911 speedo. It's basically the same amount of disassembly/reassembly work whatever they're doing--recalibration, odo gear, fixing a t/u speedo--so I think that usually pretty much covers it. It's not expensive; I've had North Hollywood do stuff like repainting the face of my tach for a higher orange/redline, etc. and have always been happoy.

If you don't want to send it out, google Specmo. They have a place here in Flint I have used for both my tach and my speedo. There is a shop in the Troy area, I believe. It might be cheaper if you drop it off.
Wayne EDIT: Tried their website. It is under remodeling now. They are in Berkley. Hope this helps.

North Hollywood fixed mine last spring and did a great job. I think the total was $140, including shipping to Detroit. They had the speedometer 1 week.
