Default Speedo Driven Gear Output

The two driven gears are MK 1 and MK 2 , being 15 teeth and 16 teeth. The cast casing cap sits at an angle, that takes these gears, and looking at the transfer case side where the speedo output shaft comes out, it sits roughly at a 45 degree angle and is on the right hand as you look at it. The speedo shaft ends up rotating anti-clockwise, which in turns makes the speedo dial face run the correct way, Cheers Andrew.

I think that Lynn's point was that the two driven gears in the photo in post # 18 look as if they have the same helix angle and direction. The drive gears have opposite helix angles so the driven gear would not mesh with the Lynx one if they were carried in the same casing as a truck. Is the Lynx casing different to the truck one ?

Good point David , but as far as I can tell the casing that holds the truck driven gear exits from a similar position, in relation to the transfer case. Which looking at the case is on the R/H side, as this cast cap is up against the de-clutch unit of the transfer case and the only available space for the output of the speedo drive would be on the right , the angle cut to the driven gear on a truck is cut opposite to the two Lynx ones I show in post 18, Cheers Andrew.
