so recently my speedo stopped working and i managed to find out the plastic cog that connects to the speedo sensor was worn/stuffed.
so i tracked down another (2nd had but it good nick) and popped that in and everything was fine for a while.
but driving to work today my speedo cut out and i started to get the ECT and o/d warning, gear changes where still fine and everything.
so i got home today and pulled out the cog and it looks pretty worn again??
so i'll track down a brand new one through toyota in the next couple of days. but what could be causing the cogs to wear down so quick. they should last longer then a couple of months.
what does that cog mount to inside the gear box? could that be causing it and how do i replace it?
