The speedometer gear is located on the output shaft. inspect it for damage. This gear rarely suffers damage because the gear from the speedometer that meshes with it is usually made of a softer material. The speedometer gear on the mainshaft is replacable. its clip hold it in place,or it can be a pressed fit
