Speedo/ tranny question



   OK...... once again I need the wisdom of the digest. Today I put a new 
speedo cable in my 73 spider and it hooked up nicely. Spinning it with a drill 
causes the speedo to register just fine. It hooked up nicely to the "sender" 
that is bolted into the side of the gear box. But..... still no operable speedo. 
With removing and inspection of the "sender," the gear on the end of it looked 
very slightly worn concave but other wise fine, and the cable hooked squarely 
and positively into the sender. Could it be the related gear in the gearbox 
that is at fault, or does this small amount of wear on the "sender" gear cause 
it to cease its duty?
  Thanks in advance,
        Randy Long
