Hey guys, new to this forum, I have an 88 gt conv with the zt5 and 355 gears, the question is that the zt5 has 7 tooth spedo gear, and my stock t5 had an 8 tooth spedo gear....does it make any difference when i go to buy the correct 20 tooth spedo cable gear???
Im about to put a t5z in my car. The place where i had it rebuilt said that my spedo gear would work but who knows.
The t5z was designed to be a direct bolt up HD trans. I don't know why ford would change something like the speedo gear.
I was just told that 89s and below have 7 teeth and 90-95 have 8 teeth.
7= 20 tooth cable gear with 355s
8= 23 tooth cable gear with 355s
T5Z =7 tooth
Snikt some 89 to 93 came with what Ford called a service trans with a 300 ftlbs capacity they also had a diffrent 2nd and 3rd gear ratio 1.99 2nd 1.33 3rd the tage number on your trans should be 199 or above I have three of these trans and they work good
