Default speedometer gears

I'm trying to fix the speedometer in my 1980! Problem is i'm unable to find
those littles plastics gears.(3 i believe). I know that CC use to carry some for the mid years but there dosen't seem to be any for the C3. Where do you think i could get some.

Thanks

I've gotten one from ZIP (I'm imagine the other vendors have them too) and one from my local Chevy dealer. They're not expensive. You may want to get new gaskets (2) for it also.

I have heard that this is still handled by the dealer. I am needing one too. Give me a few days and I will tell you. The one I took out of my tranny was blue and had 20 teeth.

Good idea about the o-ring seal too.
