We no longer include two spacers since our newest design includes a stand off (post) that keeps the gears spaced correctly and moving smoothly (just like the original OEM gear design). The factory gears become soft over time (imagine how a stale Oreo cookie would feel when broke in half; that is what the gears in your current broken gauge feels like).
