Can anyone tell me what the right angled gear in the trans which connects to the speedo cable is called? I have heard it referred to as a 'compensator'.

Thanks.

I've checked the assembly manual, Haynes and Chiltons. None list it. Corvette America lists a Speedo/Tachometer Adapter (eliminates 90 degree bend in cable), but I think it is used up by the distributor. For some reason the name transducer comes to mind. Don't know why? Since I don't know the official name I'll call it a:

A transducer is the unit up on the left fender that operates your cruise control,with 2 speedo cables 1 up from the tranny 1 goes into the speedo Ive never seen a 90 degree elbow on a tranny. but have seen a lot of them on distributers.there is a C-shaped metal bracket that clamps to the speedo cable at the tranny that keeps it from kinking at the bend right there maybe thats what he is talking about. |hammer| |withstupid| Ron 78

Driven gear. They have various numbers of teeth depending on axle ratio and tire size.

It's really called a speed adaptor. It has a drive and driven gear inside that change the speed of the cable to fine-tune the speedometer when there isn't the correct gear ratio in the tranny (they only go in 6-mph increments at 60MPH) Joe
