Speedo Broken

Speedo Broken
My speedo works intermittently. When it works it sometimes sticks, and it moves with a ratcheting motion. Also my fuel gauge is not accurate.
I have two mechanics tell me I need a new instrument cluster, but I forgot to ask about the ODOMETER. I want to keep the accurate mileage on the car.
I contacted a instrument repair shop but they only fix the fuel gauge.
Does anyone know of a repair place that can fix the speedo (or verify it is broken) and fix the fuel gauge also ?

The EEprom is just a 4k storage chip for the odometer, and trip computer when power is removed. As long as you have your original EEprom chip from your cluster you can put it in a working replacement and retain your mileage. Without the chip there would be nowhere to save the mileage data. If you can decode the data on the chip you can just erase a chip and enter in the mileage but that is way more complex and requires equipment most people don't have.
