ok as some of you might have read the other day my rear-end blew soo... i got to the shop that was doing the swap for me... turn out the 3:73s they had were 4:11's with posi... so thats what i got.. i like them A LOT my car actually feel like a sports car now it churps hard into second and its really easy to make the rear swing out!!! ha ha ok now to the crappy part with the new steep gears my speedometer is way off and once i get to like mabey 80-90 mph the speed limiter shuts me down... very bad... i need a way to fix this fast because every time i need to pass somone it shuts off on me.... please help guys

PS- Is there a way to get rid of this speedlimiter that does not hurt the motor and how much will it cost me

PSS- and i don't think i could get to the end of the quarter before it shut me down

 

i feel ur pain..mine does the same thing. i gotta figure out how to fix this...i heard u gotta change the vss gears. also, there is a tech article on removing the speed limiter but i think i screwed that up because it didnt work.

 

someone must know!! actually this was a way to get it back to the top

 

go here it should help https://www.thirdgen.org/newdesign/tech/unlimited.shtml

 

If your car is an 89 it should have an electronic speedometer. You just have to wire in a calibration box to adjust for the gears. I got mine from Jegs, it was made by Cyberdyne. About $100. I think SLP also sells one. Also, I unhooked my speedometer until I had time to install the box (disconnect the plug from the tranny, underneath the car). No speedometer, no speed limiter!

PS-I loved the way mine chirped in second under hard acceleration, so I did it all the time. But, this caused my tranny to give out after a couple months. Oh well, gave me an excuse to switch to a 5-speed.

 

Do they not have speedo gears for 4.11's?

 

do u guys think i should get 4.11's or 3.73 for when i put my 380-390 horse 350 in? also its a 5-speed so i really can't do much for traction or i will blow it. so wut do u think?

 

ok... answering some comments.. i do not have a electric speedometer.. aww and with the 4:11's and posi when i am walking on it i don't spin much in 1st second it churps hard and when cold it goes alittle sideways <---- wicked!! and i once had it churp 3rd!! I love these gears and i would not go with anything bigger now...I have 245 R16 on the back and front that stick real well...anyway as of now i can't get down the quarter mile without the car shutting off so... any other ideas to get rid of this...
i don't wanna do that vss thing seems to harmful, and i want to completly get rid of this...

 

If you want to be rid of the speed limiter you'll have to get a chip.
