Can anyone help me please?

The internal plastic gear that drives the plastic speedo drive to drive the speedo cable, has broken. Hence, the gearbox works fine but I have no speedometer in the dash

Is it a massive job to replace it and is it even still possible to get this internal plastic gear?

Hopefully someone has rebuilt one and can give me an answer cos I can't find much on the web

Philip.

 

Anyone lads please?

 

That's no problem.

Obviously you need to get the box out.



1. Remove the shifter. Make sure the box is in neutral.

2. The shifter "block" is mounted to the shifter shaft by a retainer pin. Punch this straight down and it will come undone. Use a suitable punch for this.

3. Undo the tailhousing bolts (15mm socket)

4. As you pull the tailhousing off, make sure to slide the shifter block off the shifter shaft simultaneously. It has a spring and ball under it so don't loose those. You will have to push this block down a bit while you wiggle the tailhousing off.
Remove the sealant remnants.

5. Now you have the output shaft in front of you and its easy to remove the speedo-gear. Replace with new, reverse the process. Apply sealant between the two housings.

 

Gentleman thank you very much.

Now I have to locate the internal plastic speedo gear......

Cheers,

Philip.

 

Once you get the tailhousing off you see it directly and its only hold in place by a snap ring (or clip, depends on year).
