Got my gears but I have a ??? - Page 2

Just what I heard.

I think that might have been what Speedsouth told me when I was looking into putting gears in my '98 (in my pre-Mafia/Area 51 days).

So I'm not as crazy as I thought...

...wait, yeah I am, but this doesn't have anything to do with that.

no i had a speedo gear in my 97 but it's only for auto's i thought.

FastRedPonyCar · 01-11-2005, 05:34 PM

and it still won't be totally accurate

Yeah, you can use either, but the speed-cal is more acurate.

No, both autos and manuals use a similar gear -- the automatics just have a longer shaft protruding from the gear.

. . . now that I think of it, Jeane corrected her speedo by using a 23T gear in her '96 GT. I remmber that because it was a gear for a 5-speed and I wasn't sure if it would hold up in an automatic... i guess it did because i haven't heard her complain.

T-45's can use a gear. 3650's cannot. If i remember correctly David will have a 3650 and will need a speedcal

Lee is right. 02 up require a speedcal, its preferred for any 99+ 5-speed car acctually, as the gears are not as accurate as a speedcal. Any 99+ auto tranny car requires a chip no questions asked.
