Hmmm...I recently replaced my speedo cable and the ends of my old cable look like this.

Do I pull the plastic looking gear of the old one and place it on the new one?

Yes, that is the speedometer driven gear. You use different gears to correct the speedometer for various gear ratio and tire size changes. If you need the speedometer to read faster, use a gear with less teeth. 16 is the least teeth available.

You re-use the old gear on the new cable. See the little metal clip at the end of the gear? Take that off, remove the gear, and your cable will look just like all the other ones pictured.

The cables don't come with the gear because there are several different gears available depending on your gear ratio.

If you need a new gear, you buy that separately.
