How many teeth does a stock speedometer gear have? If I swapped 3.55's into my '93 GT vert, with an AOD, and factory rims, what would the difference be in the speedometer? How many mph would it be off? I think that 3.55's require a 20 tooth gear in an AOD. Is this correct? I've read that the tranny has to come out to replace this gear. Is that also true?
thanks,
rjn26

Here's the fix without tearing up your trans...
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, I have heard $75-$100 for the kit & speedo calibration.

jrichker,
Thanks! I just read your reply to the foglight/headlight flickering problem. The fix from the Corral sounds pretty straight forward. I'm going to try it this week.
Thanks,

Check the site out for different combinations. There is almost always a combo that will work to correct the speedo -however, sometimes replacing the drive gear is necessary, and that requires getting to the tranny output shaft.
