I'll shoot you a PM.
Adder, no offense, but calling a gear install a hack job because you havent installed the speedo gear is BS. Most of the posts I see from you is you raggin on other peoples work or opinions. Get a life

RE: Does a gear install affect the odometer and trip odometer?
So am I a hack because I just did my gears Saturday and didnt install the speedo gear? I understand its a simple swap but if the shop isnt told to instal something, then why rag on them when they didnt? While we are on topic, would you happen to know if the 23tooth (white) driven gear is the one I will need? I have 3.73s with a T5Z. Used to have 2.73s

using the 23 tooth gear is actually the incorrect way to do it. your speedo will still be 5-7mph off.
what you need to find out is what color the drive gear is in your tranny, or at the very least, what color speedo gear you have.
The 23 tooth gear is not a ford part and will wear excessively fast

any shop that doesn't recommend obvious things or needed things isn't a good shop. They aren't concerned with job quality or customer satisfaction, all they want is your quick $ and get out.

I'm aware of this, but we dont really know if they asked him about it or not. I've been workin for Ford now for almost a year and at an independant shop before that, so I know how service writers are [8D]

RE: Does a gear install affect the odometer and trip odometer?
ok well were on the subject of speedo gears...
i just got 3.55 gears for my '93 w/ a t-5, and i got the driven gear that the chart on 50resto.com said to get, but after lookin atthe chart Adder posted it said i cant get the right combination of correction gears,
so can anyone w/ that year transmission and those gears tell me what they used? or Adder if you know what to do...
thanks
