so my speedo went dead on the way to an indie shop for the 65k service. They told me the spiral gear inside tranny needs replacing. Labor along was $1,100. So i searched this fine board and was led to the Townsend site and found a Tech. sheet on this problem and sure enough my VIN was listed.
So i ordered the $17 speedo gear drive listed on that sheet. Found the gear which is easily seen from above looking behind the engine (flashlight helps).
When i pulled the gear, sure enough, it was chewed up. Replaced with new gear. When i test drove it, the speedo is working and i screamed like a teenager at a slumber party.
