Replacing the speedometer gauge.

Replacing the speedometer gauge.
I found a ebay speedo gauge found here:

I have a broken trip on my 97 F3. Is the replacement pretty straight forward? Are there instructions available?
Thanks

Wow, I never looked at the link...
If you're repairing a broken trip meter - it'll likely be broken in the most common area, which is has nothing to do with the actual speedometer, it's the tabs and spring inside the cluster. Almost impossible to repair.
You need a new cluster, not speedometer.

Yes, you need a complete cluster. I can say with almost certainty it's the little spring housing that the trip button rests in that is broken - which is molded onto the actual cluster.
I've seen them go for between $20-$50. If you find one - generally there is a tab broken off somewhere. As long as the bottom tab and one of the top tabs are still in place the cluster will sit still for you.
Good luck.
