Does anyone happen to have a 27 tooth (white) gear they would sell reasonable?

The dealer wants $80!  Said it was $8 but the part number (2538927) was superceded.... :scared:
  I have one. Didn't someone on here need a 33 like what you started out with?

It was rolsch,he needs a 33. But he is overseas though so shipping might be steep.  :dunno: He should be monitoring this thread.

Yep, I have a 33.....but not sure if I want to give it up quite yet......still may end up chaning tires in the rear and/or gears at some point.....I am afraid that if I make the changes I will need the 33 and be right back where I am now...LOL  I suppose the likelihood of that is low...but you dont know my luck.... :sadwavey:

What do you want for the 27?

Indeed I am and I already came to the conclusion that ordering was the only realistic (short term) option. So I went for the YO; $87,25 incl shipping  :crying:

Oh, I plan to do that too!

The way I see it, I would have had to buy it new...and they are pricey nowadays.  Won't get to a swap meet anytime soon, so you saved me not only $$ but also the hunt for it.

Its already in the mail....so I hope you will use it to have a cold one or two on me.....or, if you prefer, donate it to the charity of your choice.   :bigsmile:

Thanks again man.......I am always taken aback about how cool folks on this forum are!

Hey just wanted to update....

I took the car out yesterday to the tranny shop (more on that later) and it looks like the speedo is reading  more accurate now!  I say "looks like" because my gps's battery died and I dont have power hooked up in the car for it yet....it was up long enough for me to comapre 60 on the speedo with 60 on the GPS.....so far so good!

At least you guys can get them.  My dealer told me that the only one in Canada was in Alberta...little bit of a drive from Toronto!!  And shipping form Year one to Canada is nuts!!

I need a 31 tooth if anyone happens to have one.
