700r4 question
I recently swapper a 700r4 in my 77 c10. My problemis that my speedometer does not work. I unhooked the cable at the trans and spun it with a drill and my buddy told me the speedo moved. Before I hooked the cable back up I grabbed the end of the driven gear that the cable goes into and I could spin it by hand. This leads me to believe that it is not "meshing" with the gear on the tail shaft of the trans. I spun it several times and tried to push in on it but it would not go in any further.
I am wondering if the driven gear is too large to mesh with the drive gear. Best I remember the drive gear was brown and the driven gear is red.

Re: 700r4 question
There are two housings for gears. One housing is used for 40-45 driven tooth gears. The other is used for 34-39 driven gears. Check the housing part number and tooth color. Check drive gear. Check for broken or missing teeth.

Re: 700r4 question
By gear housing youmean the piece that goes into the side of the trans that the gear fits in I assume.

Re: 700r4 question
I have the wrong housing for my gear. Ordered a new one off Ebay this morning. Hopefully this will fix it!
