Ok I have the 89 I will take a look at that gear.
When I unclip the cable at the t-case it just pulls out and has no gear on it.
It looks like I’ll have to take a bit more apart.
The speedo end of the cable kooks good.
One difference between the speedometers, is when I spin the back by hand
I can feel the one with the tach has more resistance than my old one.
Not sure if that even matters though.

I unbolted the small module the cable goes into.
Much simpler than I thought, both gears are white.
The one off my truck had damage so I swapped it for the one off my 89.
it did improve the problem a bit but the needle jumps back and forth real fast about 2 or 3 kph and its still about 7 kph to slow.
……… now the bad part. I pulled the white gear out again and its now damaged the same as the one that was in there.
Unless I somehow installed it wrong, it looks like my t case is chewing those gears.

I replaced the cluster in my '87 also. The donor vehicle had a 5 spd and I have a C6. It seems to read faster than I'm actually going.
So are you guys saying that the dealer can sell me new gears for the trany so it will read right?
