What did he do? Was it a dealership Technician? The odometer is controlled by the Trac/Abs ecu. Nothing to do with the trans. More info please!

i think the story is bs. he posted this on is300.net: "Well guys as everyone here will or might want to know? How do you stop the odometer?? I whould like to know. Is it like the VW that it is a fuse that stop the odometer?? " as a note, the h in "whould" is in the original post too. i think he just wants a way to stop the odo from counting the miles. that is why the details are so sketchy.
