Come to find out my speedometer doesn't work at all now. <br /><br />I've unplugged the speed sensor and had a buddy tell me the gauge was moving on the dash. I plug it back into the tranny, making sure the gear is engaged and fully tightened down, take it for a test drive and works for maybe 100 ft then drops back to 0 and doesn't move again. <br /><br />Is there something I'm doing wrong here or is there a special trick to correcting this? Any help is much appreciated! <img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>fordfiveoh</b> <br /><small>Member # 13107</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2015,0,31,16,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> So I got to take a better look at the problem today and I believe I have found it. <br /><br />The drive gear isn't in place where it should be, like in the pic below.

I took the trans back to John Cerini at the Sonoma Raceway and had him look at it. That clip had broken off in the trans and he replaced it for me.
