Glenn, have you ever seen a T5 with a yellow 8-tooth speedometer drive gear? I thought they were supposed to be green, but when I opened my transmission it was yellow (7?). I checked the code on the tag and it's the factory original '92 transmission. Should I just assume it's 8-tooth? I'm trying to fix my speedometer after the gears.

my 93 WC-T5's speedo gear is yellow, and from what ive heard thats the factory color. some may have a black one to compensate for gears (4.10's, etc).

Seems to me that somewhere in 1990 Ford switched to a larger drive 8T gear. I don't remember what color it is, I usually just count the teeth on them. If you need to adjust for a 3.73 or a 4.10 gear don't just add the 23T driven gear, it doesn't hold up well. I would change out the drive gear for one that is smaller, then go with something less than the 23T driven gear for whatever ratio axle you have.

This is how I took care of the calibration problem on my Cobra when I was running a 3.73 gear. I switched to a 7T drive and a 21T driven gear. The stock drive gear with a 23T doesn't accurately calibrate a late model T5 for 3.73 or 4.10 gears anyway, so why bother.

You can also find a 6T drive gear, it came on some GM applications but will work in the Mustang as well. This will make it easier to do a correct speedo recal if your using deep gears.

Just found out today that I'm going to be moving to a new shop :nice:. I'll still be based out of the same building but will be doing EXTENSIVE traveling. I've been dreaming about this job ever since I started working in the career field. I am friggin stoked! Yeah! Sorry, had to say something. I am a happy, happy man right now.
