Lexxi[ke35] Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 My speedo is out because my speedo gear has too many teeth, but I've been told that the speedo gears are not interchangeable. Is this true and if so, how do I make my speedo correct? Thanks, Lexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrot Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Untrue. There have been a few threads about gearing lately. There is a plastic outer gear that fits into the gearbox on a spindle shaft and can be easily removed from where the speedo cable attaches to the gearbox. Typically 19, 20, 21 or 22 teeth at least on a T series. Then there is an inner steel gear (typically 5 or 6 teeth) that is located within the extension housing of the gearbox so more complicated to change. My mixing and matching gears, you can achieve the desired ratio. Have a search for the thread that describes how to calculate what you need. Gears are about $50 new but you can easily pull them out of boxes at wreckers. K series plastic gears are larger in diameter than T series plastic gears so not interchangeable. Commonly an auto box will have a different ratio than a manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
