Default Speedometer gear question????
I have 3.55 gears in my car and I need to buy a new speedometer gear so that my speedometer reads correctly. But i do not know which one to buy and how many teeth it needs to have. Please help me out if you have 3.55 gears and have already done this.
Thanks.

-Nate

If you want it as accurate as you can get it, you need to swap your drive gear to a 7 tooth and get the 20 tooth driven gear
