speedometer (Smiths) gears
My search skills suck, I know I've seen a thread on this. I have a broken gear in the speedo, how many tooth gear do I need? 3.73 gear - 275/60-15. Where do I get one, send speedo - LA area?

Mine went out last week - first the odometer could not be reset for a bit, then the speedo quit. Took it out and and inspected everything, the Smith's speedo mechanism locked up and took out the nylon gear in the right angle reverse adapter. I called around and had no luck in finding a repair source, several people told me to just replace it so I did. Got another one from Hillbank and is working fine now. If you find a source that repairs these I'd like to know who/where and any cost estimate. Thanks and good luck :)

The nylon gears are available, my (former - long story, not his fault, my schedule) mechanic received a replacement gear I just do not know where from. He threw it in the trash after my extended absence. He had no interest in starting over, even if I paid him twice.

913-381-1952 they work on all smith gauges Worked of me |
Thud - just on their website, will call tommorrow when time zones line up.
Thanks, Bill |
I've had excellent results with Nisonger. Their gauges carry a 2-year warranty (coded somehow inside the instrument, I'm told). Very helpful guys.

If the gear is inside the speedo, I don't have an answer. If it's the gear at the end of the speedometer cable that goes into the Tremec transmission, you'll need a 20 tooth gear, Tremec part number C1DZA, color: Black. Here is a spreadsheet from Tremec that helps you figure it out and the Tremec gear part numbers sheet: Click HERE |
Thank you.
My speedometer is very optimistic..good for the ego but bad for the wallet. One of my winter projects was to figure out which gear I need. This saves me a bunch of searching. Thanks Mike |
You can order speedo gears from a ford dealer.

That is right, but I believe they have different part numbers. But you can ask to see them and count the teeth. |
The Ford Motorsports catologue has everything you need, including the formulas to figure out the color coded gears. $5.00.

Hmmm....I used a pink 19 tooth speedo gear for my Tremec with a 3.73 rear axel ratio. Tossed the mechanical speedo after 3 years for a direct replacement 180 mph reverse electronic speedo. No more gears, no more cables, no more wobbly speedo needle. Just a thought. Bought it from Nisonger for $390.
