Yes its a grey (usually) gear about the size of a 5c piece.

VN, VP, VR and VS Commodores have the same gear.

My theory is that they break when you reset the trip meter while the car is moving.

I have had two EB's and between them they had travelled 750,000 km when they were sold and I never busted one of those gears.

Might be a good opportunity to find yourself a tacho cluster from a Fairmont or S pack.
