Transmission 0n 454 P-30 speed odometer

[grits58]

I put a new speed odometer gear in my pace arrow put 2 new tires on and had them speed balanced. Took it for a test drive for the speed odometer and tires and fill up with fuel. my speed odometer work riding about 3 miles, but when I stop to get fuel and started back up to drive home speed odometer stop working. What do I check now? Betty

Take a look at the new gear again.....

[grits58]

so Bob your saying take the gear back out and check to see if there any chewing on the gear and check the cable to be sure its not broken or need lubrication. Betty

[Bob_C]

Yep.......if the drive gear isn't centered in hole, the driven gear will 'apple core' right away....

[Bob_C]

I think there's either two or three ways the driven gear adaptor can be indexed to the trans, depends on the driven gear tooth count...

Hey Bob ok I don't know how to take the gear out so I have to wait until my brothering law can come take it out. But this time I am going to get under there with him and see what he does.The old gear was a dark green and the new gear was a light green I think a 42 tooth count. I was so happy when I 1st got in and drove it to the gas station and then I was sad and confussed because it didn't work driving it back home 3 miles. That's just wrong. Betty

Also I know this is not the thread to ask about oana 5500 generator where do I go for 1990 pace arrow..``

Betty....the adaptor is held in with 1 5/16" bolt...takes a 1/2" wrench.....it's located on the driver side of trans, in the tailhousing........and you could have a two piece speedo cable, if your unit has cruise control....if it does, check the gismo that the upper and lower cables is connected to....make sure the insides turn...
