Well, I was driving home from work today and my speedometer started chirping, then it went clack and stuck at 40. Getting the rest of the way home it raised to 50 and is now completely stuck there. The odometer is stuck as well. When moving, at any speed, there is a clicking from the driver's side of the dash.
Does anyone know how to repair speedometers or odometers? How would I go about fixing this? I have zero experience fixing this type of problem. I have heard that Yugos are bad about stripping drive gears in the transmissions but I can hear the clicking in the dash, so I think something in the speedo has gone wrong. I've also heard something about magnets coming unglued, but I also know that they usually drop to 0 when that happens.
Should I just take it apart blindly and clean / lubricate everything I find, or is there something else I need to do to fix this? Anything I need to beware of when disassembling, reassembling, cleaning, or lubricating it?
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to this type of work.
