Hi all, I thank you for the help in advance,

I did a trans swap in my '93 and put a '89 aod in, I switched the trans speedo gear as it was different, but my speedo is 15mph fast at 60, and 5 fast at 25. Is there anywhere I can fix this, or what is my best option costing the least?

Try a 23 tooth speedo gear. It should be closer then the 93 trans with the same gear.

The stock range of speedo gears work correctly with a limited range of tire sizes.

See http://www.corral.net/tech/gearcalc.html for more help

Check to see if there is a speedometer shop in your area. If there is, ask about the Stewart-Warner speedometer gearbox. I believe it is either a 777 Series Drive Joint Kits and Parts or 666 Series Drive Joint Kits and Parts. It is a small gear box that fits between the speedo pickup gear on the transmission and the speedometer. It has quick change gears that allow you to choose almost any tire size and rear end gear ratio you want. This will allow you to get the accuracy with within 1%-3%. The drawback is that it isn't cheap.
Please excuse the typo (their's, not mine) in the following picture - it should read Custom ratio adapters, not Custom radio adapters.

See http://www.gaugeguys.com/ratioadapt.htm for more info.
