The two hall effect sensors are 2.2mm apart.  That means they are close to
1/3rd of your gear pitch apart.

It is easy to MAKE a gear touch sensor although not as easy as buying one.
  Get a 1/4" steel bolt and grind the end to a point.  Write a bunch of
magnet with around the bolt and place the printed end where it is almost in
contact with the gear.   The on the blunt end of the bolt place a powerful
magnet (maybe salvaged from an old hard disk drive.   Have you ever seen an
electric guitar?  Same exact thing.     The wire will output a sinusoid
wave that matches the gear teeth even if the ten are very small.
