How does the speedometer gear stay in? MY bud took this apart and I cannot find a clip

Just my 2 cents... it is my understanding that the retainer ring in ToolManMikes image is there to retain the oil seal.


That is probably crap in his cuz the gear keeps falling out!

When you say the gear keeps falling out do you mean that the gear gets out of place in the transmission under use or that the gear will not stay in the housing before you insert it into the trans?
