Title: Help - need new speedo gear
Post by: Joe M on March 13, 2010, 11:28:00 AM

I was checking the level/condition of the trans oil on my '91 XR2 by using the speedo gear as a gauge (as per the shop manual) and as I was putting the gear back in, the "ear" that the bolt goes into snapped right off.   (http://graemlins/glare.gif)    It's JB-welding right now, but I don't know if it will hold.  Does anyone have one of these off of a trashed XR2 G-trans or something that I can buy?  I need the gear that mounts from outside the trans and that the speedo cable screws onto.

This has happened to every speedo gear I've ever touched - its crappy potmetal. Mine broke just right so that when I bolted the tab down - the angle of the break held the rest of the cylinder down. I never looked into fixing it properly but a washer or JB weld like you're using might work just fine

I have an extra.You don't just pry them out you have to twist and pull at the same time.

JB appears to have held -for now.  I would like to go ahead and buy a gear off of one of you. How much?
