How much to repair or replace the mileage odometer on a 1999 Mazda Miata?

The problem with Miatas is that the odometer memory is actually held in the electronic gauge itself. Therefore, if it needs to be replaced, the number will be the mileage as on the new odometer - 0. Or if you purchase a used odometer, it will display that mileage, not your original.

My advice is that you purchase a used odometer, and that includes the whole gauge cluster (speedometer, tachometer, etc). I would recommend used because:

• They seldom fail, so a used one will work fine
• There are a ton of Miatas that are parted out all the time, you may be able to find one with an odometer reading similar to yours, which reduces problems with smog or insurance claims
• The cost of these used is SIGNIFICANTLY less than buying new
• Please see Related Links below for friendly, reputable used Miata parts dealers
• You can also search on Ebay for "Mazda Miata Cluster"
• Note that you can purchase 1999 or 2000 year clusters to fit your car

Replacing the cluster is very easy, and only takes a gentle hand. It is literally held in with 3 plugs, other than the cover that is simply pulled off. Please review the Related Links section for additional details regarding instrument cluster removal.
