Default speedo issues

ok so i got a freshly rebuilt T5 in my 86 gt. works great. took my car for inspection and the mechanic told me it has the wrong gear for the speedo. he said its fine to run but call the place up where we got it and ask him about it. we used the same cable that we had in the old tranny. so we tested it by driving past one of those digital radar things, when the speedo says 55 its doing like 35 40. so is it the gear thats bad? the mechanic said the gear is easily removed so im assuming its an easy fix?

It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive from me!! I got a bunch of parts up there recently off a guy who lived on fisherville rd
