While my TH350 is out, what do I need to get my speedo to work right w/ 4.10's?

Being the smart person that I am (yeah right ) I figured it would be in my best interest to get the parts I need in order to get an accurate speed reading with my 4.10's with my new TH350. Please let me know what I need and where I can get it. I'm running a 700r4 now and my speedo's off about 20mph with the new gears.

Check out www.tciauto.com. Click on "site index", then trans parts & accessories. At the bottom of the page is a speedo gear calculator site. Put in your gear ratio & tire diameter, then play with the speedo drive (or driven, for that matter) gear teeth # to get what you want. The page also shows the gears available for the different trannys including color/teeth combos. A good place to start is with the drive gear currently in your tranny to see if you can get what you need with it.

The dealer is the only place I know to get the gears you need.
