I too live in New Jersey. It is not illegal to repair the speedo or service it in any way which does not alter the vehicles mileage. I believe Dan stated originally he wanted the new speedo to read the same mileage as the car had on the old unit. This is ok and allowed. Being in Law Enforcement, I have read the statutes and directives pertaining to this in the Motor Vehicle Code here in NJ (Title 39) for related instances in the past. Any "altering" or "tampering" is illegal. However I dont think thats what was intended. Any certified shop can document the mileage for you and correct the new unit to match.

It is against FEDERAL law to tamper with a speedometer. I live in New Jersey and they take it seriously. >>
