Tom; thank you. I did check the fit, without the gasket, and used a 3/16" square key ( key stock), and there was a bit of slop in the gear. When I put it together, I used 2 gaskets. I filled the housing with 600 W gear oil. The housing was still full of oil, when I took it down.

The speedometer cable has both support clamps in place (chassis over muffler, and firewall).

I am perplexed.

Thank You;
