Cracked Speedometer Gear Housing
I discovered this while under the car this weekend. I didn't notice any crack when I installed it a year ago. Thoughts on the cause?

Re: Cracked Speedometer Gear Housing
Did you (or someone else) replace the gear with the wrong one for the housing?

Tightened down when the gears were not meshed properly

Re: Cracked Speedometer Gear Housing
I have 2 or 3 cracked just like it. As mentioned above likely tightened down when not properly meshed. Happened then and happens now. Rod

Re: Cracked Speedometer Gear Housing
You may need to add extra gasket(s) under the housing. That's why if you buy the pack it comes with several. Try the housing without the gasket to see if it sits flush to the tube, not rocking, if not add gaskets till it does.

Re: Cracked Speedometer Gear Housing
good advice here, yea clean it up really good with acetone and JB weld will stick to that, just dont make it so thick on the inside the gear rubs the JB weld...
