exactly as was written in that other post ... sorry ...
I have got my hands on a blue 22 teeth gear for the speedo but now my question stands about the drive gear that goes arround the output shaft on the actual gearbox ... the rarespares site has then listed as two different items but are they in fact interchangeable with one another? I'd love to get this speedo working again and will go ahead and do it tomorrow unless someone says it's a bad idea
the main differences I can see is that the 4 speed (m20) one has grooves on the inside and the 3 speed one doesn't. The 3 speed one also seems to be longer (in regards to the dimension from the front of the car to back when in place) than the 4 speed one.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

The three speed has no gears in that rear housing thing so it has no need to change the pattern of teeth along the output shaft ... so they haven't. in the four speed it obviously has the reverse gear so it has a smooth section (no teeth in the shaft) and the gear from the three speed doesn't sit snugly (about 5mm to move around) but enough that it would probably break almost straight away.
No matter ... I found a wrecker in Moorrabbin that had one ...
Speedo works again a treat!

The Opel drive gear is totally different.
It is all metal. The gear is mounted on a 50 mm long spindle which in turn mounts in a 25mm dia sleeve housing that then mounts into a hole in the gear box and in held in place with a keeper pin.
