Is it the threaded piece your cable threads on to? If so thats the gear mechanism housing I think, you can get it at any auto supply or tranny place if it's a TH 350 or 400.

I'm having a problem with mine also. I mean, Basically, I know this: If I take the cable and sheath off of the tranny and put a cordless screwdriver to the cable on the tranny side, the needle while running the drill. This would indicate the cable is basically OK, I guess

.

There is a small gear inside the tranny right there on most transmissions. I believe mine is currently not functional. This gear is sold at any transmission specialist shops. If you go to one, they should be able to get you the part required.

Anyone know what that little gear in the tranny is called?

Ratio adapter. I had one made for my 67 k10 and now the speedometer is almost perfect. Chris
