DON'T remove the tail shaft to replace the speedometer driven gear! As Paul said, just follow the speedometer cable to the transmission. 55-56 Tbird transmissions use a 90-degree drive that is attached to the transmission where the speedometer cable is attached. 57 Tbirds don't have the 90-degree drive, use a different style drive gear (already said), and the cable has a metal tab that bolts to the transmission to secure the cable.
