Speedo pinion and gear needed...

Speedo has been reading high for some time, so I decided to investigate. Pulled the vss and the pinion. I have a 30 tooth gear and pinion. I used the chart and it appears I need a 33 tooth gear and a 32-38 pinion. I've found the gears from PATC, but can't find a 32-38 pinion.... Anyone have these laying around? .

Here's what I've got.

Ok, I think I figured it out. Pinions are all the same, its how you clock it depending on what size Speedo gear you have. Correct?

Pinions are various tooth counts and diameters. The housing is offset to compensate for the diametral changes. Find the number of teeth you need, install and align the matching number on the housing and align with the pointer on trans.

That's the conclusion I came to when putting it back in the trans. Thanks.

No. It's the gear out of a stock getrag. I said gear vendors meaning who sells them now, not the OD unit manufacturer. Sorry for the confusion.
