Same with mine. Gears ok but after taking it apart a dozen times I think I fixed it. There was a lot of play on the numbers of the odometer. They would move laterally and the gears would jamb. Took a plastic spray paint top and cut a 3/4" washer from it. Cut a slot to fit over the number shaft and put it on the left side (Highest #) between the numbers and mount. The washer had just enough curve from the cap to keep a slight pressure on the numbers to keep them in place. It's been working now for about 500 miles where as every other time I took it apart it only lasted about 25 miles before stopping.
