There is a gear that goes bad on the back of the cluster in the 96-98's. It typically happens around 140k. Happens to every one of them. Dallas Mustang knows which gear it is, and how to repair it. Give them a call.

Very common failure on 90's Mustangs and other Fords with elctro-mechanical odometers - fairly cheap and easy to fix though:
