[Tigers] Speedo Rotation

[Carmods at aol.com]

Kim,
 
You have the wrong speedometer drive gears in your transmission or the  
wrong tail shaft. You can change the rotation direction by changing the drive  
gear on the transmission output shaft and the driven gear at the speedometer 
 cable.If you change the driven gear from a left hand drive left to right  
hand drive or visa versa, you must also change the drive worm gear so that 
they  will mesh. I don't know where you get the proper gears but maybe you 
can start  with the guy you bought the transmission from. 
 
If you solve the problem with an adaptor, try to install it at the  
transmission to reduce the driving torque in the cable and to keep the cable  
rotating in the proper rotation. It it rotates backward, the "Lay" or twist of  
the cable will pump oil from the transmission to the speedometer and then  to 
your feet.
