Product Description
The TOPRAN Angle Drive, tacho shaft (102 689) is an original-equipment-quality speedometer drive gear manufactured by TOPRAN. Installed directly into the transmission housing aperture, its primary function is to mesh with the differential output gear to translate vehicle road speed into mechanical rotation. It transfers this kinetic rotation upward through the mechanical tacho/speedometer cable to drive the instrument cluster's analog speedometer needle and odometer assembly.
