Default Need to know what speedo gear to order!!!

Well, I just broke down and purchased the motive 3.90 gears and the motive master bearing install kit. Well now I'm facing a problem (not really a big one but ya know...), I can't find a speedometer correction gear for a 92 AOD for a 3.90, but I noticed on the steeda website they offer the 23 tooth gear for the 3.55, 3.73 and 4.10 gears. So how far off is my speedometer going to be with the 23 tooth tranny gear and the 3.90 rear end gear???

I think you'd be pretty close to accurate w/ the 23 tooth white speedo gear... I have 4.10's and w/ the 23 tooth my speedo is still a few mph off (I don't mind too much)...so maybe w/ 3.90s it'll be right on.

Don't know the drive gear size, but assume it's 7 like the T-5's, that'd be 3.28. But that's as close as you can get so get it.

Well running 3.73, at about 80mph my rpms are just under 3000. My speedo is pretty close, so maybe that will give you an idea.
