guage stuff

yes...i am plagued with the government mandated 85 mph guages. adequate for legal purposes but...*evil grin* who cares about that. my question: would i have to change just the guage or the whole guage,speedo gear, tranny assembly? i would really like to see the needle goin past 85 mph and on into 90 and stuff. the guages are the least of my plagues. i am unfortunate enough to have a pre-87 700-R4 -)CRAP!(- i know i konw but... i've had it "repaired" 4 times and guess what...? SNAP! i'm about to snap haha but anyhow enough ranting eh? thanks for any help.

What kind of car, what year, Sometimes you can get a higher MPH speedo by scroungeing in the salvage yards.

(seems to be my answer to everything lately you notice?) I find everything I need in junk yards. (almost)
