4mangoes.. be careful with LED replacements.. esp. the warning light for the volts. Apparently, if you put an LED in there, your alternator may alternate no longer. Do some searches for this info

Thanks for this post. Do the instructions include how to fit the new gear?

20x 23?? I only did the 20x21 versions, which is the common 944 gear. Some 944 odometers had a 20x22, but not 23 as best I know... What car would this be for?

89 turbo with the 300km/h speedomoter. The yellow gear main teeth have been sheared off so I'm unable to count those but I've counted the inner teeth at 23. The gear it meshes with has 47 teeth.

Can you post a picture of the gear? Positive about 23? All the suppliers say the 944 turbo had either 21 or 22...?

yup, counted several times to confirm. It's the first listing on this page https://www.odometergears.com/products/ ... n-US%29/83

Non US gears are slightly different.

Hmmm... I see. The only ones I made were the 20-21 gears. I could probably update the model to include 20-22 and 20-23, but I'm not set up to print in the fancy glass-fiber resin I used last time. If your goal is just to get the gear, I'd probably order it. If it's long-term project, I can put it on my mental to-do list for the next time I am printing in the fancy resin.
