Need some assistance figuring out which speedometer gear I need:
My car ('69 GTO) was originally an automatic with the special order 3.90 gear set. The original rear/gear set is still present, but the transmission was switched to an M-20 4-speed manual long ago by a previous owner. I am running original size G70-14 tires on 14x6 rims. The speedometer reads 50mph while my GPS app says that my actual road speed is 40mph. Close enough to call it a 20% difference, and obviously not close to being accurate. I have NOT gone into the trans yet to see what color gear I have or to count the teeth. I found the attached chart on line. It looks pretty simple, but I don't understand what "Drive Gear Teeth" means?? Also, the chart says my correct gear should be green, but the 18-tooth (GM) gear sold by AMES is color-coded as brown. Does the color really matter, or just the tooth count? Can anyone get me pointed in the right direction to fix this issue? TIA !! Last edited by GordonGeesey; 04-26-2023 at 03:08 PM.
