Hi,

I've been trying to get my speedometer to work for years now and I think I've found the problem but don't know how to fix it. The dash speedo works, the speedo cable is just fine, and the speedometer gear that goes into the transmission is just fine. But, the gear turns freely instead of being locked into place by the driving/worm gear inside the transmission (an M41). I pulled the transmission (for some other reason) and I noticed that the worm gear was shifted back (toward the driveshaft). I think there is supposed to be a spacer that fixes the worm gear into place - maybe that has gone somewhere?? I've put the transmission back into the car (cause - well - its my only way to get around) and don't want to pull it again, but I am wondering if anyone has had this problem or might have an idea how to fix it.

Thanks!
