Need help to identify this part

[WilsBoar]

Classic example of "oh, there is an extra part" after pulling the SIII transmission and struggling for 4 hours to get it mated to my IIa.

I vaguely recall picking this up after pulling the transmission from the donor. Cannot remember where it fell from...

Please tell me it doesn't go inside the bellhousing.....

It looks like the speedo drive gear.

It sure looks like it Jim, I hope so.

So there is no way this goes on the main shaft between the bell housing and the clutch plate. That is my greatest fear. I will gladly tear anything else apart as long as I don't have to re-mate the bell housing to the engine!

Yes, it is a speedo drive worm gear.

Yes, it is a speedo drive worm gear.

Thanks for the confirmation! I am more than happy to hear that this is what is was.
