2.73 to 3.42 speedo gear change...

I searched the archives and found a article pertaining to the color gears needed. One said to just change the red driven gear to the light blue gear. It would be w/in 2% accuracy. Which is fine for me. Can anyone back this up or second it? Thanks

With a 245/50/16 tire and 700R4, you want:

15T Drive (8642620) Gray
41T Driven (25513048) Yellow

Yep, you can just use a lt. blue gear. But the gray/yellow combo is more accurate with the stock wheel/tire size. But if you change tire size, you can get an accurate reading with just the lt. blue. I think it was figured out that 245/60R15 or 255/50R16 tires would read right with the lt. blue gear.
