[Vwdiesel] Speedometer Cable Gear Question

[Chuck Carnohan]

Thanks Svend, Roger and Loren.  I'll work on the speedometer end of
things.  Roger, if you need a white gear, let me know!  I'm sure you
have a stash like the rest of us scroungers!  I'm gonna start watching
for the red and blue/green at the yards!

The different drive gears are for the 3 different final drive ratios
available:

Ratio	P/N		Color
-----------------------------
3.6	171 957 821 B	RED
3.9	171 957 821 A	WHITE
4.25	??? ??? ??? ?	GREEN

That said, none of them will make a 2:1 correction, more like +/- 10%.

I'll be swapping a white gear for a red one when I regear my FN
transaxle from 3.89 to 3.67.
