I wouldn't blame this one on Saturn. I have lost 3 gears on Volvos
and one on a '92 SC. I have a '93 SL2 with 224,000 miles and the
original gears. Go to odometergears.com to get replacements. There
are 2 gears. They are $25 each. It's usually the smaller one that
breaks. It is a good deal of work to remove the cluster, the
speedometer unit, the odometer, and finally, the gears. Replace both
and get it over with. Don't buy a used cluster to fix this problem.
I have bought 2 and been given 1. The gears were broken in every
one. I suspect your gear is in the process of losing a tooth. I hope
this helps.
