NP205 Speedo Gear Housing Sleeve "has been discontinued" - where to buy?

Searching for a NP205 speedometer gear housing, have followed all the links in older threads but they're dead ends. Summit, CPP, LMC, Classic Industries, Rock Auto, NAPA do not carry them... GM Parts Direct says "326561 has been discontinued and it is no longer available from GM." Every google link for 326561 is sold out or unavailable. Anyone have a source? I need new w/ seals...

Re: NP205 Speedo Gear Housing Sleeve "has been discontinued" - where to buy?

Call Greg, tell him Irish sent ya...817-599-7680
yes I live in SoCal but good HONEST trans shops are hard to find.
http://www.phoenixtrans.com
Greg drives a square Sub 4wd. Great guy and will tell you straight up if he has the part or not or if he can even get it.
As a last resource, try these guys:
http://transmissioncenter.net

EDIT: I found about 15 dealers who have that number. PM if you need more help.

Wow, I bought mine off Amazon 10 month ago. I'm glad I bought it when I did.

Re: NP205 Speedo Gear Housing Sleeve "has been discontinued" - where to buy?

I know this is an old thread but I have been searching for the sleeve mentioned in the OP; ACDelco 326561. I can't believe this thing is so elusive with so many people that have this leak. If anyone knows a current supplier please post. I tr ordered a 16x10x4 seal but have not been able to get it seated into the groove, thinking about just sizing up some orings and installing.....

I picked up a few but they aren't hard to find.
Let me see if I can find you a source near you.

Irish, are you saying you can find the whole sleeve or just the oring? I would really appreciate any help. Everywhere says the sleeve is discontinued.

Irish, I'm outside of San Antonio Tx. thanks for the help with this I'm hoping you have the magic. I guess I can start looking at some transmission shops after Christmas to see where they get them. Do you know if I buy a re-build kit for a NP 205 if those seals are included? I guess I can just go through the whole thing...Merry Christmas.

Then if nogalitos doesnt have it transtar might. talk to Lawrence preferably.

He brought up a dead thread, asked and I helped him out.
I'll be sure to let you know if I come across another one.

emojis are supposed to be humorous but some people are more sensitive than others, right?

Torque king makes a reproduction, but its pricey ($60ish). They will also sell the seal to replace in yours ($8.50), and sometimes have used sleeves with the new seal installed for like $30.00 https://torqueking.com/product/30091...peedo-adapter/

Just for reference and update purposes. I just called, yes actually talked to someone on the phone there at https://torqueking.com/ and ordered the pt QU30091 Speedometer Drive Adapter Nut with seal installed. They had it in stock. Pricey yes maybe but I'm glad someone is making them since AC Delco stopped.

Just to update..... the part is still available from Torque king. It fits perfectly and stops the drip from the speedo cable. $55 out the door with free shipping. I ordered the seal from another place and hope to instal it in the old one for a backup if needed.

Yup, 12 point if you got it. A 6 point is usually too thick to sit square on it unless you have it in a chrome socket and not an impact
