the speedo gear is attached to the end of the vss (vehicle speed sensor) which is on the drivers side of the transmisson, behind the reverse light switch.

in the transmission, looking at it from the tail, should be on the left side kinda towards the back, actually a sensor, two bolts pops it out, then a c-clip holds the gear in place..if I remeber right...

Depending on how drastic of a change you went with the gears (4.10's and up) you have to change the gear that is around the tailshaft as well (inside the tranny)

If I remember correctly, there is just one 10mm bolt holding the speed sensor to the trans and you'll need the black gear for 3.73's.

I really couldn't remember. I changed it way back in '94. The color really doesn't matter anyway. It's the 23 tooth count that does.

BTW - The factory gear for my original 3.08 was powder blue. I still have it.

I hate when you dont need something, its in the way, but then you need it and its nowhere to be found. That one gets me everytime.
