hey man i did this to my 79 z28 and it did the job no more leak! the place called auto matic kings here in cali thanks for sharing.. now i gota fix the other leak on the passenger side 😑
Thanks for the video. I needed to see exactly that. I disconnected cable cause odometer was clicking every 5 seconds. Wanted to make shure its not going to allow anything to come out with no cable pushing in it. Appreciate you
The press fit seal that the shaft of the gear rides on almost always comes out of the box not fully seated into the new bullet. Use a socket, tap it the rest of the way in and it prevents the wear on the shaft of the plastic gear and you won’t have that problem next time even if it’s fixed for now.
Why didn't you show whether or not the new plastic gear fixed the leak or not? We want to see you film the results after you put it back in the transmission.
Yup! Just went thru this job yesterday only to find it dribbling fluid again. Replaced the bullet but realized the gear may be to blame but didn't have a new one on hand. I believe gear and bullet should be replaced as a set.
I have yet to fix mine again. It's still leaking even with all new parts. I was told that sometimes the seal inside the bullet isn't seated all the way. I have to take it back out and see it I can tap it down with a socket or something so it will hopefully stop...
Well...maybe. I had one bullet come out leaving the gear stuck in the housing. If that happens to you, the right tools to get it out are a 130 degree hook pick and a mirror. @@meridian208
I don't have a video of that. However the cable just unscrews from the transmission. If you get some channel locks or vice grips and turn the end of the cable counter clockwise it should come off. The other end is connected to the back of the instrument cluster. You'll have to look up under your dash. There is a wire looking clip that needs to be pulled down on and the cable should just slide out. Your cable could be broken on the inside, or maybe it's just not seated right into the trans or instrument cluster. There is a possibility something else is broken, but I would eliminate the cable as the culprit first.
So in the end was the new bullet necessary or just the gear assembly? I suppose the new bullet would give you the new inner seal but the outer o-ring should be common. OR it's so damn cheap .... just replace it all right?
Hard to say if the bullet needed replaced for sure, I mean it does have the seal in it too that could be worn. But like you said it's all so cheap might as well just replace all of it.
Where can I find the bullet and plastic gear at? I live in S.W. Florida (Sarasota) and I can't find one anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Haven't been able to drive my 1981 Firebird in a long time. 400/400 turbo
I have a transmission supply store where I live. You might try rock auto online. Or even maybe amazon? You could try hitting up a transmission repair shop too, if there is one in your area.
got the same housing and it leak, seen an you tube vid bout this problem and you will have to tap the front little seal in just a little bit cuz its too far out.
Unfortunately no. The gear inside the bullet, the bullet, and the cable are all brand new now. The trans shop told me that it probably is the seal inside the bullet that is not fully seated down all the way. I've yet to tear it back apart and try to tap it down in there more and see if it fixes it. I will post an update when I do.

I just just replaced mine thanks for posting this video

Great informative video.
Thanks, will be doing this to my 78 camaro soon.
Nice video. So, what are the parts called, so I can get them? Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I needed to see exactly that. I disconnected cable cause odometer was clicking every 5 seconds. Wanted to make shure its not going to allow anything to come out with no cable pushing in it. Appreciate you
Mine was clicking and I changed the speedo. That fixed it.
Thank you! I have this issue on my monte!
Did This Fix Your Issue? 4:32
@hilariocamba3326 no! Was main seal in the tranny. Sold it as I got a ttops project

I can't find your video where you replace o rings on the bullet speedometer cable leak I having same problem on my 72 blazer
I actually just ended up getting a whole new bullet.
@@meridian208 thx that's what I'm going to do
Why didn't you show whether or not the new plastic gear fixed the leak or not? We want to see you film the results after you put it back in the transmission.
I think I talk about that more in a couple of my other videos.

@@meridian208did u fix the issue
Thanks. It looked like you replaced a yellow driven gear with a white one?
I think the old one was just discolored or something. The new one seemed exactly the same except the end wasn't worn off.
@@meridian208 Just count the teeth. It's not rocket science.
I must have the same problem. Thanks! Out come the Speedo gear...
Is there supposed to be an oring where the screw on part is?
Not where the cable screws on, but the bullet part going into the trans does.
i unscrewed my speedometer gear in the transmission and greasy liquid was coming out. what was that? and what shoul i do? thanks a lot!
Wow great help Buddy thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thanks this helped me out a lot!
Hi there when u buy the bullet does it come with new gear
Not that I've seen, they come seperate as far as I know
Where did you get a new o ring at for the Speedo cable bullet
The one I bought came with it
@@meridian208 is there a website that sells it because I need one but I already ordered a new Speedo cable but all I need it’s the bullet and the ring
@@thedarklordchinchin4873 maybe rock auto?
Hi, should I drain the transmission before doing it, if not how much oil will go out by removing the bullet? Thanks
I don't recall how much comes out. But be prepared with a drain pan just in case.
@@meridian208 👌 ok , gonna do that in case. Thanks
Where can I find the plastic peace
I got mine from a place where I live called Idaho Transmission Warehouse
this could be my problem. thanks man.
Where did you get that speed sensor or ordering it?
I got this stuff from a place called idaho transmission warehouse. If you look them up maybe they can ship you what you need.
Did the gear come off with the bullet or do I have to dig into the transmission? I mean I reckon I could just go yank it off there and figure out
The gear is held into the bullet. So it will come out with it.
Well...maybe. I had one bullet come out leaving the gear stuck in the housing. If that happens to you, the right tools to get it out are a 130 degree hook pick and a mirror. @@meridian208
The Bigger gear that the bullet gear rides on ALSO has the same type of seal. Take the tail housing off and you'll find that one....
Hi, I’m having different issue, the speedometer doesn’t work, do you have a video on the removal and installation of this particular part? Thanks
I don't have a video of that. However the cable just unscrews from the transmission. If you get some channel locks or vice grips and turn the end of the cable counter clockwise it should come off.

Thanks bud. I have a place to start now. I'll take your advise change everything
and save a trip to the parts house.
Always lube the new speedo gear stem to avoid damaging the o-ring. Also, you can double-up o-rings, too. BTW, your slip yolk is extended way too far.
Whats a good lube for it, I gotta replace mine
@@Moparbarnett88 Transmission fluid will be fine. You just want to avoid putting things together dry, especially if a rubber o-ring is involved.
Thanks for the video, its a lot of help :)
¿ Cómo lo puedo pedir en la tienda o refacciónaria ese engrane que cambiaste ?
Do you have the part number to the “bullet”?

@@meridian208 rock doesn't have one I will check others thank you very much
Manny's transmission on Bee Ridge.
Awesome job
got the same housing and it leak, seen an you tube vid bout this problem and you will have to tap the front little seal in just a little bit cuz its too far out.
alexisesmy turns out just the gear inside of this was worn on the end. I replaced it and it no longer leaks.
Could the speed bullet gear cause the speedometer not to work?
yeah if it was worn out or broken it could.
thanks, usefull video
What transmission place you go to? Im close to merdian
I've been going to Idaho Transmission Warehouse. Its kind of off Century over on Cole by the Costco. It should come up on google maps.
Does the hose that hooks up to it have fluid in it?
No, and its not supposed to. The fluid leaks from trans into the cable kind of
Thank you! Cause my hose looks crusty and i will just replace the gear and o rings to hopefully fix my leak
Thanks
Good find........damn
Good video. Thanks!
So did it fix the problem ?
Unfortunately no. The gear inside the bullet, the bullet, and the cable are all brand new now. The trans shop told me that it probably is the seal inside the bullet that is not fully seated down all the way. I've yet to tear it back apart and try to tap it down in there more and see if it fixes it. I will post an update when I do.
Where can I buy replacement?
Does anybody know the proper name of that thing?
Speedometer thing-gy ;-)
@@jamesplotkin4674lol actually it’s called the “speedometer thing a mah jig” PULSECHAIN $0.00004
What is it called
Do you have a part number for the part??
Unfortunately no, but I imagine if you called a transmission shop or transmission supply store they would have the info.
Many Thanks
