I got my gear at www.odometergears.com. The original had turned into something about the consistency of a "Gummy Bear" and about half of the teeth had sheared off. It is very easy to repair it.

I'm not sure what screw you are talking about.

They made it a challenge. I just replaced one on an 85.5 a few weeks ago and had a lot of trouble with it. Part of my trouble was that I didn't remove the old one so I didn't pick up on the nuances...

85.5 Water Pump

I just spent half of the day trying to figure out what parts to buy to replace the water pump on my daughter's '85.5 944 N/A. Clark's was helpful but it had a lot of gaps.

I thought about that but the "advanced auto tech" kids had already yanked the radiator to assess the damage. The whole top of the tank was busted out from the upper radiator mounts.

I can't resist this thread. I bought my (then 14 year old daughter) a 944 off of eBay last spring. It needed work but it needed a tad more than I thought so it wasn't ready for her 15th birthday -...

The post office says Gravois Mills but I'm much closer to Laurie. I guess the 46.5 mile marker on the Lake of the Ozarks is the best description.
