Karen -- just had the speedo driven gear out of mine and it is shot. Don't
remember if yours is a four speed or even if it makes a difference. Anyway,
on the opposite side of the cable connection there is another bolt. Remove
it and you can push the gear out the hole. Push from the cable connector
side. The cable should spin freely. Look at the end of the cable and you
will see that it is square (no gear attached). This square end fits in the
speedo driven gear shaft. The driven gear is turned by the drive gear
located on the shaft of the u-joint. Now I am assuming you have an enclosed
driveshaft so you won't see the drive gear unless you do some disassembling.
Clear as mud?
You can buy a new cable if needed but as Nate said finding the driven and
drive gears is a little tricky -- junkyard stuff. Barry
