Mechanical odometer gear questions after reading archives 200 1980

The odometer in my 1980 245DL reads about 5% low - I can see the tenths digit on the trip meter stop turning briefly once per mile like one tooth of the gear is broken. The instructions on Dave Shannon's page show a mechanical speedometer from a 1981-1993 style cluster - is the gear setup on the 1975-1980 style cluster the same (therefore requiring needle removal)? I count 16 teeth on the gear shown in Dave's instructions - odometergears.com has 25 tooth and 15 tooth gears for sale (for 1986-1993 models), did I miscount or is the gear for the earlier style speedometer not available (I will also call them and ask)? Is there a source for the pre-1981 gear? Thanks
