I would suggest you find an aircraft instrument technician and ask him to repair. | ||

Anyone who repairs or calibrates speedometers will have parts to refurbish them. As Peter says though, no MB parts for the unit. I hope you can find someone local, but if not, these guys have been doing good work for me for years, even things like calibrating the speedometer to exactly match the tires I routinely use. http://www.deluxespeedometer.com I have some friends who regularly use this place in California too. They have a very good reputation. http://www.paspeedo.com Good luck! -Dave G. | ||

Note the position, and you should be able to gently remove the axle. I had no chance to let it repaired quickly, and my G is doing severe off road only so low mileage. I decided to ... cut the gear in the middle, reversed both side and aligned teeth back on the axle. I know this is some kind of shame and definitely ugly work, but it saved me the meter for the event. Still working like that years later (but max 1-2000 km a year). | ||

The gears on this site are flat "spur" gears at the side of the odometer. The gear that gets worn in the g speedometer is the one right at the cable input, as shown in the picture in the original post. It's a worm gear. -Dave G. | ||

Have you called them? Otherwise, according to Hans Hehl, you may be out of luck: https://www.hanshehl.de/tacho.htm Another resource, if you want someone to rebuild your unit: https://www.ka-ja-tacho.de/ I see an electronic speedo in your future, if affordable. | ||
