Translation: Nobody wants to mess with stuff like this. (for good reason). You need a new speedometer head, the entire unit, and a good dealership parts man will find you one…They are not cheap and they are a !itch to install. Google “used ford parts” and and you should be able to locate a salvage instrument cluster…Take that to your repair guys…

There are lots of sources for the gears or places to repair your odometer. How close are you to a cross between a mechanic and a jeweler?

Your “repair guys” never heard of a junk yard? Or a speedometer repair shop?
