Hopefully one of you can help me with this...
Thanks to Leslie, I've scored a really nice 130mph gauge cluster - it will be nice to know how fast I'm going when I'm exceeding the speed limit above 85mph.
However...I have a problem.
The mileage on my car is 137,486 - and the speedo cluster Leslie sent me has 186,063 as the reading. So I completely disassembled the 130mph cluster and now have the speedometer/odometer assembly out of it.
Does anyone know if the odometer assembly inside my 85mph gauge cluster can be transplanted into the 130mph unit? If everything is linear on the gauge face between the two of them, it shouldn't be an issue to just swap them out.

I've carefully studied the newer odometer assembly, and it cannot be taken apart to easily "manually" set the odometer reading. Toyota did a good job of making sure THAT isn't going to happen (tampering). So, short of rigging up a drill to the back of the assembly and spinning it backwards, I'm hoping that one of you have done this before.
