Default RE: speedometer

you have to order the replacment speedo gear that goes with the gears you have. theres a drive gear and a driven gear, they are in the tranny. its like 10 to 20$ is all. theyre relativly easy to install too. you can order them from any place that deals with mustang performance. try summitracing.com

I didn't see them on the Summitracing site when I looked for mine or even Jegs.
I know Steeda has them on there site.

you probably won't be able to correct 100%

'95 T5's used a 8tooth drive gear, and even w/ a 23 tooth driven gear (which will correct for 3.55's but isn't a ford gear, and will wear out from having so many teeth) you can't correct 3.73's or higher.

w/ 3.73's you need a 7tooth/21 tooth combo or a 6 tooth / 18t combo

4.10's you need a 6t / 20t combo (or a 21 if you must...but they suck...wrong pitch as well)

the tailshaft has to come off, to replace the drive gear...it's clipped on the output shaft.
