1881 Tempo Speedo/Tranny problem

[cho2drivr]

I have a 1991 Ford Tempo, Auto/AC, 130,000 miles, cruise, GL. The ring gear which drives the speedo cable gear is broken. It is very loose on the shaft. I remember hearing about a two piece gear, split so that you cut the old one off and the new one snaps into place around the shaft. I can't remember where I heard it. Can anyone help? The tranny only shifts when the speedo tells it to!

Thanks,

Keith

You might try asking around at www.tempotopaz.com

I'm sure SOMEBODY has had to do this one. Good luck.

Hi, Dan

Yep, I had originally heard about it on that site. I was able to track down a supplier and buy the split ring gear. I am, today, trying to put it on but it isn't quite as simple as it sounds. I am going to write a technical brief for www.tempotopaz.com when I am finished. Thanks for your info!
