Mine went to. So if anyone else has one for sale I'll take it.
PS- Did you hear a funny ticking noise before it failed?
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

AFAIK, they are not the same as the 944 gear...I got my gears for both 944 and 968 from
http://www.odometergears.com Jeff is a super nice guy.

Brett is sending me one - thanks everyone for the help!
I'll also fix my dim dash lights at the same time. I've done this to two other 944 series cars before, now for my 968.
Question about the air bag removal - do i have to have a special tool to remove the air bag connector or will pulling the battery cable suffice?

Did it this morning. Followed Anchorman's recommendation about letting it sit for 45 mins after disconnecting the battery. All went well. I took the opportunity to fix my dim dash lights. My fix I developed way back is to scrape off the silver coating and put aluminum foil over it and tape it down. The little gear had one tooth broken.
Odometer and dash lights work fine! Treated it to a nice wash...all is good...

I also have an early 92, first month of production in 1991. I purchased my odometer gears from Odometer Gears Ltd. In Newport News VA in May of 2015. My gears were the E15 15 tooth gear, and the 16 tooth small pod. They were 25 each with 6 shipping.
Their number is 757-593-3478
Hope this helps,

speedometer indication has nothing to do with the gears . you could leave the gears out and it schould still work .
Maybe the old gear is stuck in there somewhere.
Just the smallest debris in the wrong place and it would be off .
