I don't see the broken gear as causing the service light problem. I
had a gear with missing teeth as well - on an '87 240. Go to
odometergears.com. They sell gears for $25 each. I have bought gears
for my 240 and 2 850's. In each case, I bought both gears. For an
extra $25 you can avoid the other gear breaking in the near future.
In my job, I am reimbursed for mileage and can't live without an
odometer. Replacing the gears is the best way to go. In the past, I
bought a couple of replacement clusters - with broken gears, so I
can't recommend going that route. You may want to replace burned out
bulbs while you are at it and/or remove the service light.
