The speedometer worm gear can break teeth due to several factors, including wear and tear from prolonged use, misalignment between the gear and the speedometer drive, and insufficient lubrication. Overloading the transmission or using incorrect gear ratios can also contribute to excessive stress on the gear. Additionally, the presence of debris or contamination in the lubrication can exacerbate wear and lead to tooth failure. Regular maintenance can help mitigate these issues and prolong the life of the gear.
