Speedometer gear

My first C900 ('93 900T) doesnt have a working speedometer. The PO said the speedometer was working but after a trip to the mechanic it stopped working. The mechanic in turn said the car had a bouncing speedo and so he replaced the speedometer cable and plastic gear, saying he was able to spin the cable and the cluster worked, but he wasn't sure why the car would not reflect the speed changes on the road.
I have taken out the speedometer cable and plastic gear that resides in the transmission, both appear to be in good shape and the plastic gear doesnt seem worn or broken. I verified that cluster shows changes in speed when I spin the speedometer cable. When placing my finger in the hole where the speedometer gear goes I can feel a hole off to the side but I'm not able to feel any gear that would in turn be able to turn the plastic gear on the speedometer gear. In addition to the car I received a parts bin where I found a chewed up speedometer gear. Help me figure out this story and possible ways to fix this, my backup plan is to use a GPS to know my speed.
Thanks!
