Yes, it is the pot metal gear that is loose on the steel shaft.
I found an other working cluster in my spares parts, it is from my son's car we took apart about 15 years ago. It is almost same mileage so I put it in.
In the following weeks I will try to inject super glue with a hypodermic syringe and see if it hold. I will let it run a couple of hours at 60mph with a hand drill on reverse. If it hold, it will be ready to go back on service if needed.
If the super glue does not hold I will try your method of reversing the shaft.
Thank you all for the help.
