remove the speedo transducer from the transmission housing
poke you finger in the hole and see if you can feel the drive gear on the outputshaft make sure its not spinng on the shaft it is a known fault that the clip holding the gear on output shaft can break resulting in no speedo operation and limp mode |

it is that big gear yes. its not metal though. its plastic. i thnk it was said above, you need to take the extension housing off to replace it.
is your odometer working?

That means you're speed sender is working, your cluster is not.

if the box is shifting properly, means everything except the speedo needle (ie. the cluster) is working. As the speed sender sends to the cluster, which sends to the ECU, which then controls the auto.
If the box isn't shifting normally (limp mode), the issue widens to ECU/Speed Sender/Speed Sender Gear/Wiring/Cluster

the box is in limp mode, is the drive gear the one that meshes with the speedo sensors gear if so is it nylon?

nah, but you'd have an incorrect reading.

if it has been like it the whole time i would say you would be unlucky to get to stuffed cogs in two diffrent boxes and i havent heard of any clusters going like that, maybe try stickin the cordless drill on the end of the transducer gear, turn you key on and see if you can spin up the speedo or odometer, sounds like the transducer is stuffed mate,
