The 22 tooth gear came with the transmission. The speedometer
cable had been cut off an inch or so from the transmission. Since the
SROD mounts the speedometer cable under the rear shaft, the teeth are
reverse pitch from the normal Tiger and they are also considerably
finer teeth. The 22 tooth gear was the same diameter as the 17 tooth
I had in the Tiger Transmission. The 17 tooth was not stock, I replaced
a 15 tooth gear a long time ago when I went to smaller diameter tires.
