speedo.

Is it possible to buy a new one? It looks all melted kind of...

yes. but yours may just be dirty. it looks unfinished on that side even new.

If your speedometer was working, don't bother getting a new one.

If you cut the wire to pull the transmission, you can just reconnect the two wires. Doesn't matter which wire connects to which.

The sender is a reed switch, which closes each time one of the eight magnets inside the transmission passes by it. Closing the reed switch grounds a circuit. You could check its function easily enough with an ohmeter and a magnet.

Otherwise, when you clean the oil off of the tranny, it should clean the wire enough that it doesn't look decrepit.
