Speedometer gear for 59

[Ed Burke]

Can't find this in topic search. Having a difficult time finding a plastic 18 tooth speedometer gear for my 59. Any help?

I'm out, but 59-64 Hydra Matic non AC cars are the same gear.  2.94 rear end.

This gear cannot be found anywhere!
I attached two photos. This plastic gear I need slips over the metal axel. Everything I find is with a solid plastic axel

That could be maybe done with steel like the pinion for the '56 model. Maybe more noisy, but will never go bad. While overhauling those transmissions, especially '59 & '60, i saw many plastic pinions with stripped tooth.

I will look for one of these

I was probably misunderstood. A 1956 pinion will probably not fit and the number of teeth is different. You have a 18-teeth pinion for a rear axle 2.94:1 when the pinion for 1956 had 17 teeth for the rear axle 3.07:1

Ok. Thanks. I may have a lead on a plastic one
