Adjusting my speedo?
My speedo is about 10mph fast when under 70 and then goes to about 20mph fast over 70.
What do I need to do to adjust it?
It's a T5 transmission on a stock v6 rearend (which I think is 3.08 gearing but am not positive)
Any help is appreciated ! Thanks

Re: Adjusting my speedo?
Don't think there's any adjustment to it, other than swapping the speedo gears in the tranny.
Better watch that "over 70" - too much of that and you won't have a license anyway

Re: Adjusting my speedo?
Haha well, around here speed limits on highways are 75, so it's not unusual to cruise at 80mph whith not a glance from a cop.
If the rear is from V6, it's probably a 3.42 (you should probably double-check before you proceed). The following link will provide the gears you need to make the speedo read correctly:

I appreciate the link James!
It's been squeling lately to, that just a matter of putting a drop of oil on the gears in the speedo?
