Odometer stopping on 94 SC2

Hi

My odometer and trip meter have been stopping occasionally lately. Then they
start up again all by themselves. The speedometer works all the time. Any
ideas anyone?

Yup, unfortunately, your ODO is on the way out. It is controlled by a tiny
plastic gear that was poorly designed by Saturn which breaks in '93 '94
models commonly. It is not easily accessible, it's back in the gauge
cluster. It can be replaced, but it is expensive. Best not to touch it while
the car is moving, that's how many break.

Is this related to the "scrunch, scrunch" sound my '97 odometer makes
in cold weather? It works well, but it just makes noise. I found out
there was a bulletin on it, and that it costs $200 to fix, so I
decided to live with it.

Just wondered if this is a related problem or if it's something
completely different.

Hi

starts whever it feels like!

I guess not too many here know about these things. I'll see what
I can find on google.
