so i ordered them a while back and got them. i was going to install them today, the only problem is this-

the 43tooth speedogear (which the speedo cable connects to) that i purchased has a plastic shaft on the end of it, and appears to be longer than my stock speedogear assembly which has a detachable metal shaft with a Dshape end on it. the speedo gear i bought wont even slide into the speedometer cable housing.

dont have my digital camera here but basically to help clear things up its like this-

thats a pic of the gear that was sent to me

stock speedo gear is attached to a small metal shaft and has a D shape on the end, where it slides into the gear. that slides right into the speedometer housing where the cable goes in.

the new one i boought appears to be one piece and has a plastic piece in place of where the metal D shaped shaft would slide in. the gear has no D shape on the end. did those som' bitches give me the wrong crap?? it wont even slide into the speedo housing where the cable comes in.....
