Wow, never new about not resetting the trip while the car is moving. Makes sense though. So do you think the actual gears are stripped (missing teeth) or do you think the gear is just spinning on the rod that holds it? Is this why the JB weld is needed?

Guess I won't know until I get the cluster out. I tried to get the steering wheel off yesterday so I could access the gauge cluster, but I was unable to get the nut off, any suggestions for getting it off? Is it regular thread or reverse thread? Would using a air gun help to get it off?

Thanks again.
