Re: Mystery Coolant leak

Yes - I have tried revving it at idle to get it leak. After driving the UV dye is there - but its all over the place. I think the cooling fan spreads it out everywhere so yes, its hard to see the...

Re: T5 - is this normal (pic)?

Some options I found:

1)I found a local place that states that they could repair the Mainshaft for $85. This would be building it up and then grinding it back down to spec.

2) I also found a...

Re: Speedometer Drive Gear

It is a WC T-5 - I don't know from what year though.
I can't look at it from the side anymore because the trans is installed now.
I am taking other opinions on how many teeth are there. :)

Re: Speedometer Drive Gear

The one in the pic above is the actual one that I have. It seems as if you can count 7 0r 8 depending on if you include the smaller ones on the sides.
How many would you say I have?

Re: Speedometer Drive Gear

My speedo is still off (too fast) even though I did the calculations correctly ( I thought).
Dumb question: How many teeth are on my drive gear shown in the pic above ? 7 or 8?

Speedometer Drive Gear

My T5 has a RED drive gear but it only has 7 teeth on it (not 9). Everything I've read on here says that the RED gear has 9 teeth.
Am I missing something here? :crazy:
