99 Legacy Rolling the odometer FORWARD

[Subarunation 713]

Well the speedometer on my 99 Legacy is starting to flutter and some mornings not work at all until after a few miles. Cruise works, no CEL so we know it is the speedo head. (5 speed FWIW)

 

I did a search for rolling odometer forward. I found this thread but not much info on how to do it.

 

Anybody with experience on how to roll an odometer forward? I would much rather have the new odometer be the same as the one I take out. It saves the drama of having to explain why a CARFAX shows an error if and when I go to sell it. Maybe people won't care when the car has 200K+ miles?

 

Another option is to buy an used one with approximately the same miles as mine but do I really trust an used speedo head with 165K+ miles?

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Greg

what you need is a company that specializes in this

 

http://www.tacomaspeedometer.com/index/

 

perhaps contact them and inquire?

Thanks for the idea but if you go to their Web site and enter Subaru in their search it gives 0 results :-( Even if Tacoma Speedometer doesn't I am sure there must be somebody that works on Subaru. With Google and UPS everybody is right next door.

 

Still, I would like to give this a whirl on my own. Somebody must have done this before. I want to go the LEGAL direction afterall, plenty of people have gone the "other way".

 

Maybe when I get the new one I can play around with the old one that doesn't work and experiment with it. What am I going to do? Break it?

they work and know subaru...

 

my dealership (a subaru dealership in WA state) uses them for calibration when needed....

 

 

why not just give them a call?
