You can take the rear part of the gearbox off ( when the gearbox is out of the car ), if the drive gear is damaged. You sure it isn't the driven gear part that goes into the gearbox ?

Depends on which part it is.  I've seen the plastic gears on the removable assembly be screwed up.  But the gear in the transmission tail shaft housing is plastic also, I believe.  It is replaceable but requires removing the transmission.  $14.85.  Part #65.

Make sure they know what they're doing.  If your gear assembly (part #59, talked about in Post #6 above) wasn't clocked correctly, the gears could lose contact.  It would look broken but just require a slight rotation.  If they just watch to see if things rotate from the outside they may not understand about the offset of the gear shaft.

Yeah its that part nr 65 that is broken, a pain in the arse to change.. would be easier just to swap the whole tranny...

Got a Smart Phone? For a temporary Speedometer you can download a GPS App ( Free ) that uses GPS as a speedometer. They are very accurate. Apps available for I/phone, BB and Android. Search your App store for " Speedometer ". I use one from Gadget Box on my BB.

 

I have a suction cup style Cell phone holder mounted to my W/S and it places my Cell phone at an ideal location. Large HUD on my BB Z10 makes it very handy. Handy for my GPS driving Maps as well.

 

I've got the wrong speedo gear in my Tranny. ( Diff ratio change ). Just haven't had time to change to the correct gear. So the GPS App comes in very handy.
