4eat transmission HELP
I have a 1997 legacy outback the that I recently bought the speedometer has not worked since I bought it I have read that the gears that drive the speed sensor sometimes brakes when I pull the top speed sensor out the one close to the front of the trans and if I stick a screw driver in the slot in the trans I can turn it about a half a turn. So I am assuming these gears r bad I found a picture but I need to know part numbers my Subaru dealership cannot find the parts I need to do this. I found a thread that did a write up about it but no part numbers here is the link. http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48090

Welcome to the forum! A good resource for finding parts for 2nd generation legacys (and other subarus) is opposed forces.
Here is a link: http://opposedforces.com/parts/legacy/us_b11/
If the internal gear isn't showing up on your dealership's parts system, it's possible that you cannot order it separately. Or that the counter guy is new
You'll have to pull the transmission and split the case to replace the gear, I believe.

HI,
RU sure you don't just need the part like this:

That tab on the end breaks off.
They fail somewhat commonly. I'd just get one from a Pull and Save/wrecking yard before pulling the trans apart.

Re: 4eat transmission HELP
Yeah, I agree, the chances of the speed sensor being bad is higher than the gear breaking. If the gear was broken you'd be able to spin the slot around and around.
