At the end of the speedo cable there is a plastic gear that connects to your trans. The gears on that cable are specific to your gears, so try and get the plastic gear from the speedo cable your rear end came from. If all you did was change the ring/pinion, then you need to find one of these gears for the new gears you are running. They come off easily.
