[Vwdiesel] Speedometer Cable Gear Question

[Chuck Carnohan]

Thanks Svend.  I have a handful of gears also but they are all the white
nylon w/16 teeth.  So you think that it is in the speedo head eh?  I
have not experienced a speedometer getting so out of whack.  The needle
moves smoothly.... I was trying to avoid having to take a speedo apart
and fix a broken gear-  I may yet have another complete cluster to try
before I resort to gauge repair!  I'll try to find the time to search
archives- thanks for the tip as to topic.  You Hagar surely do not
suffer from Alzheimer's!  I wish my memory was as good as yours!

Subject: [Vwdiesel] Speedometer Cable Gear Question 

  I recall some discussion
about the gear that goes into the tranny identified by color.  I'm
runnin an '84 Rabbit D tall gear 4spd and a 1.6NA engine.  Do any of you
know where I can get the right little cable gear and which color it
should be?

Chuck 

I Hagar  have a 1982  Two door Rabbit   1.6 L NA    --- sitting here
---raring to stretch her legs.
anyway it came with a Tall 4 speed ----GL Tranney  ---I then put in a
Shorty 4 speed
GC tranney -----   never changed the gear on end of cable.    So   IMHO
your
problem is up top.

BUT if you need a gear ---I probably have some spares ( no charge )
simple to mail.

I do remember the discussion  ---it is still in archives.     ATMU   it
had to do with
wheel size.

Hagar .

PS :     Green is a go -- go. (engine)  ----gears look like white nylon.
