Speedometer gear for Lotus Esprit instrument cluster counter repair

Speedometer gear for Lotus Esprit instrument cluster counter repair

Several variants, please read carefully!

Description:
If the odometer or hour meter counter on your vehicle has failed, then these drive gears in the instrument are usually the cause. Unsuitable materials cause the original gears to fall apart or tear radially. With the help of this offer, any hobby mechanic can easily repair their instrument themselves and save themselves the costly job repair, waiting times and the cost of sending the entire instrument back and forth. The gearwheel is for Smiths odometer mechanisms and has 32 teeth. If you discover a different number of teeth on the defective gearwheel when removing it, please let us know and we will exchange the item for you free of charge.

Gear set:
Some totalizer drives contain more than one susceptible gear. In this case, we strongly recommend that you replace all critical pinions to avoid duplicate assembly work: The neighboring gear often fails directly after the first gear has been replaced. To find the right set, simply visit our store and enter your vehicle as the search term + "gear" (e.g. "Mercedes SL gear")

Variants and number of teeth:
The number of teeth on the instrument drives also varies within a model depending on the engine and gearbox type as well as the differential ratio and country code. Thanks to our many years of experience, we can usually send you the correct tooth configuration directly with the above information. Should there be deviations in individual cases, we will deliver the correct replacement to you within one working day. You can also provide us with vehicle information in the comments field when purchasing or, ideally, disassemble your instrument in advance and count the number of teeth.

Service:
We always have all of the more than 100 gear variants in stock and can deliver replacements to you quickly if required. For many vehicles we have illustrated repair guides (some in English), which we can email to you on request. Our email and telephone service is available during our opening hours to provide you with reliable advice.

Quality:
Our gearwheels are elaborately and faithfully manufactured using the injection molding process and are not 3D-printed in-house constructions. We work with a manufacturer that specializes in the production of plastic gears and is the market leader with its repair solutions. The original involute tooth geometry is retained: This is the only way to ensure low-friction sliding of the tooth flanks between the gear pairs. The material we use is the thermoplastic Celron with graphite additives. These ensure low friction and wear-free operation.

All variants permanently in stock

If you disassemble the speedometer in advance, please note that the shaft of the speedometer needle is very sensitive. Grip the speedometer needle in the center and turn it counterclockwise. Pull gently. Friction is all that keeps the needle on the shaft.
