If your speedometer is not working because of a gear inside the transmission will it harm the transmission if you just don't fix it?

YES!! if the speedo gear is plastic, the contamination from that gear can get imbedded in the clutches and bands (if any). Doing so will cause the transmission to have more damage creating a snowball effect doing more damage to itself.

What part needs to be replaced for a 1989 Nissan Sentra when the odometer and speedometer are not working?
Most of the time, the speedometer cable breaks, and you replace it. The best way to find out, is to unscrew it from the transmission, and see if you can pull the cable out from the casing. If it checks out to be good, then it will be the drive gear inside the transmission, or the speedometer itself.
Where is the speedometer gear located inside a 73 350 transmission?
The drive gear is in the tail shaft of the transmission. The driven gear is on the end of the speedometer cable housing.
Why would the odometer stop working in a 96 Ford Explorer?
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
What is wrong with a speedometer on a 1993 Nissan sentra when the mileage is not turning?
If speedometer itself is working then gears inside the assembly are damaged.
Opel corsa year 2000 speedometer just stopped working?
If it is not your speedo cable then it is probably a gear inside the speedometer. I fixed mine with superglue!
How do you get an odometer working on a 1996 Ford Taurus GL if the speedometer is working?
Replace the speedo head assembly. It is a sealed unit, with no servicable parts. If the speedometer is working, then the cable and the speedo drive gears are working. The failure must be inside of the speedo head assembly itself.
How do you replace the odometer sensor on a 1996 Ford Taurus?
There is no such thing as an "odometer sensor." There is a vehicle speed sensor that is located on the output shaft housing of the transmission. That sends info to the speedometer. From there, the speedometer and the odometer are both operated internally, so if your speedo is working, but the odometer isn't, you have a problem inside the speedo head assembly.
Why wont the speedometer work on a 1991 jeep wrangler?
Check the sensor that is attached to the transmission. The other possibility is that the motor inside of the speedometer is broken. That happened to me on my 93 Wrangler. Went to the junkyard and got another instrument cluster.
How do you fix a 2002 Chevy cavalier when the fuel gauge and speedometer has stopped working?
A blown fuse can cause your fuel gauge and speedometer to stop working. Replace the fuse. The fuse can be found in the fuse box. The location of the fuse will be listed on the inside cover of the fuse box.
Why would the speedometer stick at zero and the transmission refuse to shift out of first on a cold 94 Taurus?
MIGHT NEED A NEW SPEED SENSOR I posted the original question. I paid to have the symptoms diagnosed. It was actually a worn plastic gear set on the end of the speed sensor / speedometer cable and the mating gear in the transmission. The one inside the transmission requires tear-down of entire transmission... bad news.
1994 Toyota pickup speedometer do not work Is there a sinsor on the transmission Can it go bad and cause it not to work?
Hello, If I'm not mistaken, there speedometers on 1994 Toyota pickups rely on a mechanical cable connected to the speedometer on one end and the transmission on the other. A plastic gear in the transmission spins the cable. The cable can fray causing it to fail and the gear inside the transmission can also lose a tooth or two with time and wear. Good luck! Hello on my 1994 Toyota I do have a sensor on the the transmission which supplies an input to the odometer and speedometer. In my case my odometer is indicating the mileage but not my vehicles speed. I am now checking the foil circuit board as the speedometer does not look accessible. The 1994 is electronic the with a speed sensor on the transmission that sends pulses to the speedometer. If the Odometer is working then the sensor on the transmission is more than likely functioning correctly. These trucks are pretty notorious for this issue and usually it can be fixed by pulling the cluster apart, replacing the capacitors, fixing the circuit board if there has been any shorts and giving it a good cleaning. There are companies you can send the cluster off to and they will repair the circuit, test and send back to you.
How does a vehicle speed sensor work?
A gear inside the transmission turns a gear on the speed sensor. This creats a wave signal which is sent to the speedometer. The speedometer translates the signal and moves the needle in relation to the sent signal from the sensor. The signal is also sent to the ecu.
