Like he said.

Not to hawk another forum, but here's the details:

As described except you will need to “clock” the gear carrier. It has a series of notches in the outer rim of the carrier which you can line up with a tiny pointer notch on the tail shaft housing iirc. There is information out there as to where to clock the carrier for the size (teeth) of gear you are installing. This carrier wheel is offset mounted so it rotates to bring the gear into mesh with the drive gear on the tail shaft. This is what allows for the differing diameters of gear.

The gear is actually in the transmission at the end of the cable, not in the Speedo itself.  Follow the cable down and you will see when it screws into the transmission.  Unscrew the cable and the gear is behind the panel it's screwed into.  It will be fairly obvious how it's attached.  Then just swap them.  Can be done without spilling any tranny fluid if you are careful. Should take less than a half hour to swap.

Enjoy!

  Just curious --  how can you change the speedo-gear ?  The diameter would be different (larger) !!

Ok.

Read the tire size from the sidewall.

Then the rear end ratio.  This is normally stamped on a metal tag attached to the diff.

Now go here:

Pull up torqueflite.  All the transmissions are on the page.

The last one I bought was from mancini racing and they were not too expensive.

Good luck

Thanks!

To get the right speedometer gear we need the Gear ratio of the rear end and the tire diameter of the rear tires

Gears are easily available in several places
