Default Odometer is stuck at 99,999

I have a 93' Civic SI and the other day when my odometer was about to roll over 100,000 it just stopped. The trip meter stopped as well. There's well over 150,000 miles on the body of the car, but the previous owner put in a new cluster when he replaced the engine a few years back.

Is there any way to fix this problem so it keeps counting my miles, or do I have to buy a new cluster now?

Personally, I'd leave it. who uses odometers nowadays anyways? Mines at least 500 miles off when I bought mine, so it's "around" where it should be.

This is probably a broken odometer gear. The way mechanical odometers work, the drive gear will be under the most load when multiple digits are turning. When it was going to change all 6 (7 if it counts in tenths) digits, it probably sheared teeth off the cheap plastic gear in the speedometer/odometer assembly. You can replace it with a junkyard gear which will probably break again, but it will get you some time (and you get to see it cross 100,000.) This happens a lot to older european cars.
