Question: C2 Trip Meter Question

[hokie04]

My speedometer and odometer work fine but the trip meter goes to 99 and stops. The tenth of of mile digit keeps turning over and over. Also the trip meter will not reset to zero. How does these three tie together? I am guessing through the speedometer head? Is this something that I can just leave alone or will this mean the other two parts are next? :eyerole

It is a seperate piece from your speedo/odometer. It is a common problem The trip meter gets out of sync. There is a guy who advertises in the corvette magazines claiming to have a tool to correct this without pulling the instrument cluster. $35 Dont know how it works ot if it works. Might be worth a try if it saves pulling the dash.

Chances of that tool working for this issue are slim to none; when the odo wheels are moving but not indexing, the problem is in the wheel pack.

I have a receipt from the previous owner that shows he had the speedometer repaired last year at ACI. Evidently the repair didn't totally work. I am just going to leave it alone as long as the speedometer and odometer work. I need to invest in the running gear at this time. Thanks for you input!!
