When you say "Drive gear", that's the one on the output shaft. Why did you replace it? Or did you replace the driven gear?
Is the cable turning at the dash when you drive it? If so the issue is the speedo.
Basically the drive gear turns the driven gear which turns the cable. If all 3 are turning only thing left is speedo. If all 3 aren't turning fix what ain't.
