87 Firebird --trouble finding driven gear for speedometer

Haven't had any trouble finding the kind with the longer plastic shaft but zero luck looking for this short style. As far as I know this was stock in my 87 Formula...

That’s a T5 VSS gear. How many teeth do you need? I have a stash of them and may have the one you need.

Thanks for the info! I'm hoping to find a 19 and a 20 tooth.

Would you have a 20 and 21 tooth gear as well?

All I have that’s close is a 22 tooth. I could have swore I had some 19-21 tooth gears for a T5.

Any idea where I can order online? I don't know why it has been so hard to find this style.

Re: 87 Firebird --trouble finding driven gear for speedometer

I have never been able to find any companies that make them online. Maybe hit some junkyards and cross your fingers, or put a wanted ad in the classifieds forum. You probably won’t get much response in this forum.
