I was wondering if anyone knew how to roll back the miles on these MKIII gauge clusters. The one I bought has 30,000 miles more than the original... so I've gotta take care of that. Any advice would be great. THANKS
Rolling Back Miles On Odometer...

Just like tearing the tag off of your mattress is illegal as well...
When I transferred the title in to my name it read 102,666 miles... so that is what I would like my new one to read.

A Texas Title says this: ODOMETER DISCLOSURE – FEDERAL AND STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU STATE THE MILEAGE UPON TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. FAILURE TO COMPLETE OR
PROVIDING A FALSE STATEMENT MAY RESULT IN FINES AND/OR IMPRISONMENT.

I know, I just got bored and read the threats of federal imprisonment and thought i'd share..... Ferris Bueller's how to comes to mind.. But that had a bad outcome also... lol
it is fairly easy. take it appart. take of speedo gauge. then use very small flat srewdriver (like eyeglass tool one) to separate tubes with numbering on them. the point is that there is teeth inside and you need to separate it enough so it can spin freely.
and about legality of this who cares. if you are doing this to rip off the buyer of the car that fucked up, but if it is for your own car for whatever reason i dont see any problem with it.
f.y.i. my car has 16k miles on canadian cluster (in km) because i bought the cluter and rolled back to 0 then i rebuilt my engine. i have original cluster whitfch i use then i need to smog the car and i roll it forward everytime i need to.

OK... I'm an idiot. I do have the original odo... I'll just switch those out. Thanks for the directions on how to do so as well. I really hate that the damn thing got stuck at the 666 mark. Maybe that's why my car is always breaking down little by little. Oh well. Thanks guys...
All you need to do is report an odometer replacement, and you can do whatever you like. Buy one from Toyota with 0 miles on it, etc.
You rolling it back to 0, is the same as buying a new one, so it's not that big of a deal. I still wouldn't post how to do it myself though.
