'98 Ford ZX2 - Odometer quit.
hope this is in the right place, I couldn't find a more specific section for this
What do you do for a car that has 207,000 miles on it and the odometer quits working? The trip odometer also stopped working too. I have to calculate how many miles my commute is and figure how many miles I usually get on a tank of gas. I drive a '98 Ford ZX2.

Drive it for another 100000 then fix the odometer and sell it with 207000 miles on it 
By the sounds of it you put allot of mile on it and you don't plan on getting rid of it until you kill it so I would just drive it and try to somewhat estimate your mileage for maintaince reasons.

There is a little cable that stretches from the back of your transmission to your dash... its probably broken, or, it has come loose. When you replace it, check the gear on your transmission, its only pastic and may be weak or stripped.

Nah, that's all electric. Does the speedo still work? If it does, then the stepper motor that runs the odo may have burned out or come unplugged. You may want to pull the cluster and check all connections.
