hey all,

after taking my car to my mechanic to get the speedo cable fixed, then after three days being told it was the speedo gear drive inside the box, then being told he couldn't get the part, then ringing around for days to find out toyota at taringa could order it in, then waiting three weeks to get it, then fitting it today only to have the gear box chew it straight up...>@

so much frustration!

so the question, can anyone recommend someone to fix the gearbox (assuming it can be fixed)? i just got of the phone to some bozzo at sumner park... i feel slightly less intelligent.

i guess i can pull the box out myself (and keep my $300) so i don't mind driving to somewhere around brisbane.

many thanks in advance yall 86ers!

edit: just had a look on toyodiy and i think it could be the speedo gear on the output shaft. http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_198511_TOYOTA_COROLLA+LEVIN_AE86-ECMVF_3305.html
