Hey Chuck thanks for the response. To he quite honest I'm not sure what u mean. I know I took off a bracket bolted to the side of the transmission holding the cable to the plastic gear in n the plastic gear was rounded causing the cable to not spin ------------- 1972 gts 351cj 4 speed 2001 f250 4x4 4wd 37s 1993 jeep gcl 5.2m 4wd 2000 Nissan frontier daily |

sounds like he's needing the cable gear, i believe someone said the cable is on the other side of the tail shaft housing (opposite of an auto) do the 4 speed gears have opposite rotation teeth??? how many teeth are on whats left of the gear you have now? ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

The teeth on the gear are completely fine. It's the inside of the gear where the cable goes into that is rounded instead of squared to make the cable spin. I'm not 100% how many teeth it is now. I put it back on n went by rpm for mph. Thank u also for a response ------------- 1972 gts 351cj 4 speed 2001 f250 4x4 4wd 37s 1993 jeep gcl 5.2m 4wd 2000 Nissan frontier daily |

If I understand correctly, you need the driven gear(inside of gear where cable resides is rounded out). Try National Parts Depot, the manual transmissions use a LH rotation driven gear, whereas an automatic uses a RH rotation gear. A few pages to look at, hopefully find the needed gear tooth count gear. https://www.npdlink.com/store/catalog/Mustang_Speedometer_Gears_and_Related-2866-1.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.npdlink.com/store/catalog/Mustang_Speedometer_Gears_and_Related-2866-1.html ------------- www.supermotors.net/22468 Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires.

ok that sounds like an easy fix, before you put the new gear on i'd check your cable, it may be screwed up and caused that to round out??? ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

Thank u guys for the responses. I tried NPD n they don't have anything for my application. Summit, jegs, all parts stores included. But I will definitely try the cable inspection also. But the next question would be how can I check if my cable is messed up? Sorry for the late response my phone got broke n barely got a replacement. If anyone wants to contact me directly that would be awesome. grantorino1972351@gmail.com or 8053360178 thanks, Joe ------------- 1972 gts 351cj 4 speed 2001 f250 4x4 4wd 37s 1993 jeep gcl 5.2m 4wd 2000 Nissan frontier daily |
