aod speedo gear usable with t5??

hey cant you just grind down the nipple on the AOD gear and it should work with a t5 right??

depends, look inside the T-5 and tell us what color speedo drive gear do you see?

when i changed my rear gears, i needed a new speedo gear......the one i bought was for a t-5 but they said it would work with the aod......i think thats when the gear isn't exactly right and can wear quiker..
the aod gear has a i believe a shorter post at the end but maybe it's the other way around i cant recall.....
but yeah do as the above poster mentioned because i think thats where the difference is, they have two different speedo drive gear clusters depending on the year of the tranny.....

spend the 15 dollars on a new one.

the drive gear is yellow

and i'll prolly go ahead and get the new one. but its strange, when either of the 2 types are on the speed sensor, the gear teeth will end at the same spot, its really just the nipple thing that is longer like by 1/4inch
