Hi,
I own a 66 Mustang coupe with the 200 cu. in. 6 cylinder and 3 speed manual transmission. The former owner replaced the 2.77 Falcon/Mustang 3 speed transmission with the 3.03 3 speed transmission which is a more heavy duty transmission and has a synchronized first gear.
I have had a speedometer problem since I bought the car last fall. The speedometer input shaft was gummed up and the speedometer would not move. I had the speedometer repaired, lubricated, & calibrated. The speedometer now won't go above 25 mph and the needle bounces. I replaced the speedometer cable assembly and the gear that attaches to the end of the speedometer cable that goes into the transmission. The speedometer still won't go above 25 mph and the needle still bounces. I even sent the speedometer back to the speedometer shop but the speedometer checks out fine. The only thing left is the speedometer drive gear that is mounted on the tailshaft.
Where can I buy the plastic speedometer drive gear for a 3.03 3 speed transmission? A 4 speed top loader gear will not work. I also want to replace the tailshaft gasket and tailshaft seal. If you know where I can buy these parts please let me know.
Thanks.
