Packard Forum Index » Modification Discussion

Back at it. Every once in a while I get some time and make some progress on the Packard. Engine is assembled, painted, R-ll transmission is hooked up and ready to install in the car. But wait! Seems like there's a dog gone piece missing in the o/d unit for the speedo. A pinion gear I think. I took a guess and ordered one off ebay and well, it looks like the wrong one. The plastic gear is too big to fit in the hole. Besides, I'm not sure one is supposed to install it. Does it just slip into the speedo cable housing before installing the speedo cable into the o/d?

If anyone has an extra correct gear, I'd be interested. Markings on my transmission are: R11-1B, W G DIV, D4-9. More precisely, those markings are on the o/d.

Thanks, Mendo
