Speedo spun all the way around!! How to fix it?

you can just take it apart. not too hard to do, but i would get some white face guages while your at it.

Duh.... use the brakes and slow your arse down!

Kinda funny, my stock tach does that wrap around thing. Usually it'll come back on it's own though. It wasn't TOTALLY out when I added new tach. So I spliced into it. Next time I'm in there, I plan to unhook the stock tach.

BTW - COMPLETELY impressed you can post on your laptop while doing 235+ mph!

I have a sim. issue with my 3.73's and the speedo not being correct. The shop put in a gear on the cable for 3.27's (better than for the 2.73's I changed out) that did the install. The speedo always did some funky stuff after that...like pacin' my GF (now wife) at 60mph I was showing 90mph and it would "hang" at diff. rpm's even when I was stopped sometimes.

I think the gear in the trans is getting tore up and/or maybe the cable is binding/broke or something on the inside of its outer shell.

Someone told me that the speedo would not effect the odo. But mine is REALLY messed up. I have a 28-33 mile one way loop from the in-laws/work (within 4miles of each other) and one round trip put 125miles on my odo now times that by 5 a week and you get how I am...thank God it is no longer a daily and has not been for 3-4 yrs. I still put an extra 20-25k on it though.

I would inspect the speedo cable and pull the gear out of the trans and inspect it to make sure its not that along with the parts at the dash like said above.

50resto.com has the VSS sensor for ~20

one bolt holds it in and you can also inspect your little drive gear when you have it out


do you have 3.73's in the car or stock gearing still?
