I don't know about an auto trans but if it is a stick, I think a 23 tooth is as close as you can get.

Some just do the Speedcal thing.

Now if you really want to change the internal drive gear of your manual tranny you can match it according to the table below. Be aware that the 6 tooth will offer the most combos for numerically higher gear ratios and offer the greatest degree of accuracy. The 6 tooth gear selection table for a manual tranny is the first in the page.

Watch out you don't wind up with junk floating around in your tranny. I had a white (23 tooth) gear in my T-5 tranny (with the 8 tooth drive gear) and the plastic teeth were partially eaten off. I've heard others complaining on different forums that this is a common problem because the teeth don't quite line up. I now use the red (21 tooth) gear and have not had any repeat dental problems. The speedo is off about 11% and I just calculate my speed. Maybe like Grady said the Speedcal thing might be the best option if you need an accurate speedo.

Roland69--that is a fantastic reference on the speedometer gears. Thanks.

Great info Roland! I belive the DM Speedcal will only work for 96-98 GT's
automatic or manual.
