Default How to be sure what Instrmnt cluster I have?

Can anyone tell me how to find out what cluster I have? I need a speedo plastic gear and was wondering if I needed to know which cluster I have so I order the right one. I also would like to know since I am in process of picking up a trip computer for a good price - just hope I get lucky and it is the right one. If it is not then I will start a more intense search. Not the best way to buy parts but it is the way this transaction worked out. Thanks in advance.

Where are you looking for speedo gears? IPD has them and I think there is only one for the 850's.

Can you tell me what IPD is? Sorry I have only owned my 850 for just shy of 2 weeks still learning the lingo. Thanks

Wait. So is your speedometer not working or your odometer? If your odometer isn't working then you need this to fix it...

If your looking to replace the whole cluster 94-95 clusters are interchangeable and 96-97 clusters are interchangeable.

If your gear broke it is a VDO cluster. Most of them are VDO.

The gears on the Yazaki cluster don't break like the VDO gears.

VDO = German
Yazaki = Japanese.

See attached.

Next time you need something, let me know. You would have saved on the gear and shipping and would have received the gear sooner because we are closer to you then IPD.
