Re: what could it be

does it look mangled? does it move the spedo cable if you shove it in there and turn it?

Re: what could it be

If it looks like a dowel then something is broke. It should have a gear on the end of it. The color of it is how you tell which gear you will need (I think).

Whoever you talked to really shouldn't be working at a parts store.

The color of the gear denotes how many teeth it has. Different # for different ratios, you can also change the gear to adjust for tire size changes. I know there is a calculator for this somewhere, unfortunately, that's a link I forgot to save....

Re: what could it be

Here is a link to the place I got my new speedo gear from when I went from a 2.73 to a 3.42. Got the part in like 3 days. I bought it from them via Ebay and it cost $9 shipped. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ed

Re: what could it be

poke, call Corthern-Varnadore and tell them you need a black speedo gear. They'll know what you're talking about. It's $10 at the most.
