How does one change out the Speedo Gear in a T5 tranny ??

Just remove the speedo cable/speed sensor from the tranny. Pull the clip and it slides right off. Install is the reverse.

) The drive gear in a T5/T45 transmission is pretty easily changed.Follow the steps below: 1.. Drain and remove the transmission. 2.. With the transmission in neutral, remove the shifter cover housing (four bolts) and shifter assembly. 3.. Using a small punch, drive the roll pin down far enough to disengage the slider rail. Do not drive the pin all the way out of the shift gate. 4.. Remove the bolts attaching the tail shaft housing to the main transmission case. 5.. Slide the tail shaft housing, complete with shift gate, off the transmission. Be sure not to loose the detent ball and spring when the shift gate comes clear of the slider rail. Go ahead and remove the roll pin completely at this stage so that it can be driven in from the top side at reassembly. 6.. Depress the spring clip that retains the drive gear and slide the drive gear off the output shaft. 7.. Install the new drive gear and reassemble the tail shaft housing in the reverse order. A little petroleum grease will help hold the detent spring and ball in place while reassembling the tail shaft housing.

DOH!!!

I just reread WHAT GEAR he's removing.

What a bonehead I am! LOL!

That's what I get for trying to read an article after working the Grave Yard shift!

Damn, you beat me to explaining the difference between a drive and a driven gear.

Chris has an excellent site! I've had him bookmarked for about 4 years now. Very good, accurate, and useful info there.
