A gear in the transmission drives a flexible mechanical shaft that provides the rotary motion to the speedometer. It drives a dial gear that rotates with numbers 0-9 on it. This dial gear rotates the next one to the left one digit for every complete revolution it makes. This sequence repeats for all the digits.
The speedometer uses a magnet that is spun by the flexible shaft. It rotates inside an aluminum cup. The rotation creates eddy currents in the cup that apply a torque to the cup. The cup is restrained by a spring so the angular deflection is proportional to the speed of rotation of the shaft. A pointer attached to the cup indicates the speed on a dial.
If the speedometer is not accurate, the odometer is probably not either. If you do not know how far you have driven, you can not calculate mileage with any certainty.If the speedometer is not accurate, the odometer is probably not either.

Read it from the odometer - a total mileage recorder usually on the speedometer dial.
Broken tooth in speedometer head. Replace speedometer head
Contact the dealer or a local speedometer shop. Changing the mileage may be a federal crime.
It should appear in the little window at the bottom of the speedometer dial. Next to it there should be a push switch to change from odometer mileage to "trip" mileage.
You can get a Federally approved form from DMV to record actual mileage and keep with vehicle and just add that mileage the accumulated mileage on the new speedometer
There are a few reasons that could cause the speedometer to stop working on your Toyota Camry. If the mileage is still working then the speedometer cable end is damaged. If both the odometer and speedometer do not work then the cable is most likely broken.
The exact mileage per year is the odometer reading at the end of the year minus the odometer reading at the beginning of the year. If you don't have the odometer reading from the beginning of the year, the next best thing is to subtract an older odometer reading from the reading at the beginning of the year, then divide the difference by the number of years between readings. Without any odometer readings from the past, the best you can do is to calculate the average annual mileage over the life of the truck, which is the current odometer reading divided by the truck's years of service.
The issue with the odometer not working while the speedometer functions correctly in your 1991 Dodge truck is likely due to a problem with the odometer's internal gears or the odometer drive assembly. These components can wear out or become damaged over time, affecting the odometer's ability to record mileage. Additionally, a malfunctioning speed sensor or wiring issue may also contribute to this problem, though it's less common when the speedometer is still operational. Checking the odometer gears and connections may help identify the exact cause.
To reset the bike odometer and track mileage accurately, locate the reset button on the odometer display and press it to clear the current mileage reading. This will set the odometer back to zero, allowing you to start tracking your mileage from the beginning.
To fix the mileage odometer on your 1995 Ford Ranger, first, check the speedometer cable for any damage or disconnection, as a faulty cable can affect the odometer. If the cable is fine, you may need to remove the instrument cluster to inspect the odometer gears for wear or breakage. Replacing any damaged gears or the entire odometer unit may be necessary. Always consult a repair manual for specific disassembly instructions and reassembly procedures.
