I Fear Gears....

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

Im ashamed to say it but i think it ruin my cobra, i dont like the whole odometer and tach reading differently afterwards thing. It ruins the fact that the car has original miles in the first place. It goes in the shop wednesday and i feel like calling GTR back and cancelling the swap for the 3:90s. somebody please tell me its going to be all right and that will not ruin the value of my beautiful car

its called a speed cal and you should prob. call and cancel that order anyways. dont waste your money on 3.90s. go AT LEAST 4.10s, but you really should go w/ 4.30s.

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

will that fix the odometer though dont think so

 

[Kilgore Trout]

So your mechanic told you that the tach and odometer would just be incorrect after the gear install and to just deal with it?

You can easily correct the speedometer in your car and it will read correctly again.

Does your mechanic have a lot of experience with Ford rear ends? How much is he charging you, in American dollars?

Is this The GTR of So. Cal?

will that fix the odometer though dont think so

I have the DM speed-cal and yes it will fix the speedo and odometer. So you are stressin' about something that is a easy fix.

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

Yeah it GTR of So Cal which is just 10 miles from my house and the guy seemed unsure of whether the tach would match up (he said it would be off 200 rpms) and that the odometer would read more total miles than actually driven... both are bogus and pissed me off

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Go with 4.10s..

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

He also said that the speed cal would work perfect with 3:73s but the higher the gears the more incorrect it would be?????

 

[SaleenGT2001]

you can easily adjust your speedometer with a speedcal or hypertech or other brand programmer. i have 3.90's and mine is dead on! i would be going to a different mechanic. and there is no reason that your tach would be off! that makes no damn sense at all. you could run 9.10 gears and your tach would still work perfectly

 

[SaleenGT2001]

and the speedcal will adjust for your gears whatever they are.

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

Cool im goin with 4:10s then, im not ball-Z enough 4 4:30s though....

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No a 96 uses a little gear, programmers will not work on it.

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

Sooo... what then... speed cal will still work though. As long as speedo, tach, and odometer are correct, then ill do it.

 

[03ghoststang]

Go get them done they are real cool people i am a regular customer there, just get the speed cal done for it and your set........oh and 4.10's FTW they have a new dyno machine now


GTR =

and any question you have they will answer it for you so just get the gears done

 

[96_SVT_VeNoM]

I Know i love those guys, BTW all they do is work on mustangs for those who think they are in experienced.

PS dont laugh but what does "FTW" mean??

 

[BlownStangGT]

Id love to see ya get 4.30's int hat car haha, but 4.10's are better then anything else at worse case, the speed cal will fix ur speedo and miles no problem, easy fix!

yup the speedcal will work on your 96

 

[Orange...]

I thought that only the 99's and up you could use that speedcal... the older ones take the speedo gears (little plastic gears that slip in the side of the tranny)??
