Buncha folks running around with no spedo because of these missing gears and how rare they are.
I have a Green, Blue, and Red gear all from manuals.
I have thought about scanning them at the library to get a 3d print template, also creating molds with epoxy resin.
The problem is transmission temperature...how hot do they get?
Extruder temp for most filaments is 210-240c....which is 464f I would think it would never get that hot.
Can a 3d printer even print at that fine a resolution? The teeth are very fine. It would also need to be printed with 100% fill I would imagine.

Is a material available for either method that can withstand whatever temp the tranny gets?

I have been darn lucky and came across two VSS at the junkyard, and one purchased here.

I am willing to do the legwork for the community if we can come up with a viable solution.
Anyone have a high quality 3d scanner at home or work?

Thoughts?

Sent you a DM regarding this, only been 4 years i know haha.

IIRC, the VSS not only feeds the speedometer signal it also sends a signal to the ECM that influences engine timing .
