Speedometer Drive Gear
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Speedometer Drive Gear, also known as the Speedometer Driven Gear, is a vital component of a commercial truck's speedometer system. It is responsible for translating the rotational speed of the transmission output shaft into a signal that can be read by the speedometer. The Speedometer Drive Gear is typically made of durable materials such as plastic or metal, and is designed to withstand the high torque and rotational forces generated by the transmission. Without a properly functioning Speedometer Drive Gear, a commercial truck's speedometer would not be able to accurately display the vehicle's speed. This can be a serious safety issue, as it can lead to drivers unknowingly exceeding speed limits or driving too slowly, which can cause traffic congestion and accidents. Additionally, a malfunctioning Speedometer Drive Gear can also cause wear and tear on other components of the speedometer system, leading to costly repairs. Overall, the Speedometer Drive Gear is a crucial component of a commercial truck's speedometer system, and should be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure safe and reliable operation.
