Normally there is a metal clip that holds the gear onto a tubular (about 1" diameter) spindle adapter that fits into the transmission tailshaft and locates the gear correctly so it will mesh with the worm gear on the output shaft. Then the entire speedo cable screws onto the above mentioned adapter. Unless the clip was not attached, I can't see how the gear would be able to fall off???
