Trularin, Dave and MR0077!
Thanks for the detailed information AND the procedure. I just cannot thank you enough for the time and effort to give that information. Much Grass Amigos!
Trularin:
Is the process you described for the DRIVE gear (ie the black or pink one on the tail shaft?) or the DRIVEN gear which is on the end of the speedometer cable?
I got a lead on some potential local sources for the driven gears. Seems there is a local old established trannie shop nearby that may have a small supply of these gears laying about in their massive parts bins. I just need to pull my old one and trot on down there to match it up with some new ones. Apparently there are two types: Type 3A and Type 3.
I think I may go with the 17 toothed model as it would be more optimistic and thus perhaps tell me I am doing 62 MPH vs the 18 which would tell me 59 or 58.
When I get some time, I will put "Half Full" back up on Jackstands and go at it.
As an aside... its friggin snow flurryin' outside right now. Gosh I Love Winter...
