You need to determine your axle ratio, then you can calculate the correct
gear using any of the gear calculators that are sure to be posted in the
Replies that followed your post.

For my money, you got screwed, and shold park that pile of junk in front of
my house, and just walk away. It will bring you nothing by heartache and
misery. Let me deal with the trouble for you.

Follow the rear drive shaft into the Tcase. The very first electrical
connector yhou come to is the speed sensor. Remove the bolt that holds it on
and replace the gear that is inside.

Notice while it is off, there are numbers embossed in the case, these
numbers are the number of teeth on the gear. The tcase has a line on it that
will point to the number corresponding with the tooth count on your gear.
GENTLY twist the speed sensor assembly and the tcase output to get the teeth
to mesh, then put the mounting bolt back in.

FOR THE ORIGINAL POSTER
Your D300 tcase works the same way.

I want to thank everyone who replied. You were all very helpful, even the
guy who called it a "pile of junk" and offered to "let" me leave at his
house. Nice try, but I think I'll hold on to it for a while.

Does anyone have a good source for these gears? I've checked a couple of
the mail order places, (quadratec, perfomance), and they don't seem to have
them. I haven't called the dealer yet.

I do have one other potential issue. Did AMC offer this vehicle with a 5
speed tranny? Mine has one, and I haven't seen anything talking about the 5
speeds. So that might throw a wrench in things, if I have to figure out
where this one came from.

In every city there is at least one business making money hand over
fist calibrating speedometers for court cases, open your Yellow Pages,
they'll have the gear where I doubt very much Daimler would carry an old
Rambler part.

Damn it! I really thought the ploy would work this time.

A friend has an 82 and it has the 5 speed, so does my 86.

The spedo gear goes in the T-case where the spedo cable hooks in though,
so the tranny isn't an issue at all.
