speedo gear is worn?
Hello all. I have a 82 f100 with a 4 on the floor that came out of (i think) a 84-5 f150. Its the Tremec RTS tranny.
My speedometer doesnt work at all. I replaced the speedo cable as the tip had broken off and I replaced the plastic gear that goes on the end of the cable.
when I hook that up to a drill the speedometer shows speed fine. When I stick it into the tranny it doesnt show anything while I am moving... I put the truck up on jacks and in gear to see if the inner gear is moving and it is spinning in there.
I felt the inner plastic gear and it seems to have a dip in the middle. Is it supposed to?
Does anyone know where I can source a part like that? Ford says the dealership closest to me with one left is in Canada as the part is obsolete. They wont even ship it in. I have to call that dealer...
any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
