Yep.. On the way home from work, which would have been the 3rd engine
cycle since the speedo-gear was working, the check-engine light was not
lit. It's nice to have a dark instrument panel again.. Thanks for all
the help!

It's a 98 4.0 liter btw...

When we took the trans/t-case out, my buddy was the more experienced,
and he did a lot more of the work as far as replacing the reverse idler
gear, while I continued on with replacing the rear-main seal & clutch..
So he had the speedo-gear in and out without my even seeing it the
first time. Experience is the best teacher though... I'll remember it
next time.

When you get around to bigger tires and lower gears, you may notice the
speedo is all whacked out, either too fast or too slow. The corrective
action for this is to replace the gear that you just found out about. When
you scrub up and go in for that operation, take a look at the surroundings,
you will see markings on the gear housing and the tcase that tell you where
to align the housing. Then, while the housing is out, you will see why the
markings are there.
