I am doing a TB job on the 87 auto. My gears are worse than expected for a car of under 100K. I am hoping to find some gears that are better than I have now. Does anyone have any take offs that are still usable. I don't put on a lot of miles on so I am hoping to find something to get me through to the next belt change. Please PM me if you have something that might work.

How come unusable Malcolm, as in worn out or not the correct style/year?

Brad, I was contacted off line wrt the exact same question.

To be honest I never really looked hard at the gears when they were removed from the GTS as Im of the opinion that to do a complete tbelt refresh everything is serviced so all gears were replaced, a new Gates belt, Porkensioner and new waterpump.....all good for a longtime and trouble free miles :)

The gears were looked at again for possible reuse but the cam and Oil pump gears are all worn to the point that a straight edge on the teeth allow light to pass.

Wall art is all they're good for along with the OEM tensioner :)
