I think you will find that the left and right hand versions of the
tooth direction is related to the side of the transmission that the speedo
gear enters from. The Tiger trans speedo cable enters from the left side
and has a clock wise tooth spirial (from the cable viewpoint). This is the
most common Ford design, but I have seen others that enter from the right
side of the tailhousing. Assuming that they both engage below the output
shaft, the right side would require a counter clockwise spirial to turn the
speedo in the same direction.
