It worked perfectly a couple of day's ago and then...Nothing! Should be a straight forward fix...Other then that trying to re charge the r12 to 134...It's the little things that are a pain in the A@@

you should go ahead and order both the drive gear and the driven gear and swap both...

ORIGINAL: AdderMk2

why does everyone insist on using the improper equipment to get the job done....

a 23t white gear does not accurately correct the speedometer. You need to install a new drive gear along with the new driven gear.
100% True. It was originally a Dodge gear and doesn't even mesh up correctly. They tend to wear down after a while.
