Another 700r4 question. Speedo gear part #'s

I looked on www.bowtieoverdrives.com and used the speedo gear calcualtor to determine what gear set I need. It shows I need a 17 tooth (Maroon) drive gear, and a 36 tooth (White) driven gear to get my speedo corrected.

I know they are reasonable priced, but I need to buy the gears locally. Has anyone had any luck getting them through your local GM parts department? Where can I look up the GM part numbers?

Anyone...

17 tooth (Maroon) drive gear-



36 tooth (White) driven gear-

The GM parts department in my town had all of the numbers and data right at the parts counter. I get my gears through a friend at a tranny shop. He has all of the gears in stock.

I too have the speedo gear blues. (2.73 to 3.73 rear swap)

Basically; anyone know where I can get a plastic gear housing for the 40+ gear? I just can't see spending that much for an aluminum housing. Everywhere I have looked is out of stock.

You need to make shure you get the correct carrier for the driven gear or else the gears will not mesh properlly and tare them selfs up. Ask me how I know... Try a junk yard for the correct carrier, it has it stamped on it, as to what gears it should have. You can order the gears threw any GM dealer.

I know I'm the same way. I have to refer to it from time to time to make sure it's not on there. Seems like I'm always finding new stuff on there woth great info.
