3.73 gears&Rev limiter
I ve just installed 3.73 gears in my 91 rs ,but now I'm hitting the rev limiter to soon. I know I can buy a new ebl flash ecm to fix the problem for 400 bucks but hear that there are ways to fix this cheaper. Any help I get would be wonderful

Sounds like you need to change the speed sensor or speedo gear. Whichever the car has.

I was also told I could put a switch on vss wire at the ecm but id rather not cut into the harness. I guess some how the gear change moved the speedo up to 110mphs to soon so I'm hitting the governor. I just need to know how to recalibrate the speedo for the gear change.

Need to swap the driven & possibly the drive gear for the VSS. They are located in the transmission tail-housing.
See the sticky's up top, there is one for the 700R4 speedometer gears.
