speedometer gear

Aloha, thinking about putting 3:73 gears in my '95 Cobra. Anyone know what speedometer gear number I need to order?

You need a 23T gear. Your speed will still bo off a little but that's the biggest gear you can get. The 23T is more suited for a 3.55 gear. You could get a reducer box but it's not worth it for the price since your speedo will be off by so little

A 23 tooth gear you will be 5% off, speedo reading higher than you really are going. A trick I heard and did was to sand off the outside diameter a little, 23 teeth gears have been know to be eaten by the tranny. I sanded the OD of the gear then deburred it and havn't had any problems in 20k miles and almost 2 years. The only way to get the speedo exactly is to change out the internal speedo gear to a 7 tooth internal gear, then with the 23 tooth gear you will be right on.

DO get the gears, they are great...:thumbsup:
