Speedo no bueno
I have a 1985 F150, 4.9l i6 and cannot get the speedometer working for the life of me. I've bought a brand new cable that matched the old one exactly from Jeff's bronco graveyard. I swapped that out still didn't fix it. I noticed that the 17tooth gear looked a little worn on some of the gears so I bought a new one and just replaced it today, still not working. I do not have a speed sensor. It's a pretty simple setup, instrument cluster to tranny with nothing in between. Any suggestions?

Can you look in the hole with a mirror and a light and see if the drive teeth are damaged and/or missing?
You can buy a new drive gear, but you have to pull the transmission and disassemble to replace;(

I don't if you would need to pull the trany or not but the drive gear should be on the out put shaft.
You might be able to pull the drive shaft & tail housing and get to that gear.
I would check with a trany shop to see what they say if it can be done like I said above or need to pull like Rembrant said.
