Tim, Yep- I didn't know what to call it, and read a BUNCH of discussion on it; it is conflicted even in my GM/Chevy books... all the terms are correct in its description in both locations...

Anyways, it is the speedometer driven gear that (in your picture) is inserted perpendicular to the main shaft of the transmission. The cable from the dash gauge screws into this on my 1955 3 speed transmission. Here is the picture of it installed. . Here's the first place I found them : plastic.

I have a hard time believing GM made these plastic, originally
