How do I fix this?

It looks like I am getting a set of 3.43's or 3.73's for my camaro next month so I am going to have to find a way to get my speedometer reading correctly somehow.

I know that I need the tranny "gear" but I do not know much of the details about the install. Is it different for my gauges because i have a 1992? Where does the gear go? Is there one better place to buy it than another?

Yes, I did do a search and I found some useful stuff, but it's these little details that I can't seem to find anywhere.

I'm not sure if I understand your question (it's late and I've just worked a double shift ) but if you mean to get your speedometer correct you need 15T Gray drive and 41T Yellow driven gears for the 3.42's (which I have). But, like I told you the other night on AIM, I would still go with 3.73's...I regret my 3.42's.

Hope I answered you......my eyes are blurry I am so tired....I'll check back tomorrow to see if I understood you or if I'm nuts.
