leo,
if they ask what color the gear is, they are talking about the plastic
gear inside the transmission. to get that out, you must remove a set screw
which holds a metal holder, which in turn holds the gear with plastic
(brightly colored gear, bright red or orange I suspect).
the head of the set screw point toward the back of the car or sometimes
there is a "Y" shaped washer that holds is down right where the angle drive
attaches to the transmission side.
let me know how it works out...if you are in the market for a speedo cable
go that route and eliminate the angle drive. (when the angle drives were available from volvo they were upward of 120 bucks)
