the odometer on cars with a manual odometer is badass, its like a zillion to one gear ratio, it's insane... anyway, it's prolly just suttin stupid like one the gears is busted or suttin to set it manually just turn the numbers with a screwdriver...

if both the odometer and trip don't move then the cluster isn't getting the signal from the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) sensor. Fix that out and things may start rolling again.
