not sure about the new auto's, but i have the speedometer calibrator from dallasmustang.com. its electronic, goes into the trans and has to stay plugged in permanently. not sure if this will work for you car or not, but something i did when i put the 4.10's in. could check into it.

the tuner should do the trick. is it reading 10mph too fast or too slow? are you sure its off by that much? you could always try setting it as 4.10s or 3.50s depending on whether its too fast or slow to see if that makes it a little closer.

first off, learn not to be an asshat, then learn a thing or two about the car you are giving advice on. his 02 doesn't have a speedo gear.

hmmmm i really don't know why it would be doing this. i guess i would try setting it as 3.50s for ****s and giggles, but i really don't know if that would be considered a fix.
and truebluejerseyshore, who cares? i've seen waaay worse. to be honest, your post looks similar to the OPs. relax...
