I finally am geting my lazy ass around to changing the speedo gear after my gear swap. I dont know where it is though or how to get it out.

when you get under the trans, go to the rear section of it and you'll see the speedo cable plug in the side. There's an 8mm (5/16") bolt there, take it out and wiggle the cable out. The gear is held on by a clip that pops off with a small flathead...pull the gear off after the clip is off, pop the new gear on, put the clip back, work it back in the hole, bolt the holder back and viola! you got er dun!
