Ya mean there isn't a dead '88 Caddy in a junk yard near by. I assume
the gear is in the rear of the transmission.
That is the first place I would look.

Humm, that means I'll have to know exactly what it is and all I know atm
is that its 11 teeth. He thinks anyway.
Would anybody at Boston Gear know exactly what it is? Like the chances
they made the OEM part for caddy?
Happy thanksgiving!
You too Ray. Thanks.

Greetings all;
A friend of the next door neighbors kid brother collared me at the
grocery store today. Seems he has acquired an 88 caddy that has
spent the last 30 years parked in a garage, collecting zero miles.
But it has just broken some teeth off the speedometer gear in the
transmission, and without that data the transmission is acting
berserk and has rendered a showroom caddy un-driveable.
And he wants me to see if I can restore this broken, probably
plastic or phenolic gear.
I have a hunch that as soon as I get this encoder working, then I
had better get to work on my 4" rotary table as I'll need it to cut
fresh teeth in the replacement plastic, or maybe even brass.
Caddy has been queried about it, but the last of those service parts
was sold out in 2008 according to their reply. So its make a new
one, or else junk the caddy.
If I elect to do brass, that will probably need a specially ground
tapered mill or a single tooth flycutter. Does anyone know where one
might obtain a drawing for such a tool? Or should I jut try to
duplicate something that fits the remaining teeth on this one when
it arrives?
Thanks guys.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
