Guest GregTC Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Just got new gears for my odometer what type of grease is recommended ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheelsport Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The gears are nylon and shouldn't need lube. I have done three sets of odo gears and have used any lube. I imagine if you feel you need to use a lube, I suggest the lube used with old style distributor point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemi Dude Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I NEVER put any grease, vaseline or any other sort of lubricant on the gears. I have repaired dozens of odometers, and have yet to have a failure and that includes my 281 thousand mile TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help I have installed the new gears in my odometer WITH OUT ANY LUBE I do have 2 speedometer heads and I put new gears in both I tried to make sure that both were clean of any broke gear fragments and any other foreign objects by air blowing them out. Now to the trouble I'm have is they work only for a few miles one of them did work for 200 miles, I did disassemble and checked them out multiple time and still the same problem has any one else had these issues and any suggestion's Thanks GregTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wheelsport Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 I had the same problem that Greg has. I could never get the odo to work no matter how many times I took it apart and attempted to clean it. With all the messing around I did the speedometer quit working too. I finally bought another speedo head. I'm certain that a small piece of whatever was lodged in the unit somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up date what I found was the problem was the speed sensor even though the speedometer still worked it turned out the sensor wasn't putting out a strong enough signal once I replaced the sensor the odometer work great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
