speedo gears help!
switching from a 2.73 to 3.27? which speedo gears will i need? drive? driven?
i read the tech article and 2.73/3.27 =.834486 which means the gears will be spinning at 83 percent of the original speed, correct? what are the stock drive/driven gears for 2.73? what combo do i need to make my speedo correct?

Re: speedo gears help!
sorry to dig this old thread up but i cant seem to make sense of this anymore.
1: what is the factory drive/driven set for a 2.73 rear?
2: what do i need for it to read correctly with the 3.27's i have now?
3: do i need a different driven gear housing?
i cant thank you enough for helping me out since i joined, i feel like such an a** for asking so many questions i just want to get the job done right.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...libration.html I don't get how you can be having so much trouble when I just posted this info 2 days ago. It should be made into a sticky.
