As far as I'm aware swapping the box shouldn't impact on the speedo readouts? Did you put the speedo gear from your auto into the T5?

Keep the same speedo transducer, just change the gear. You need to speed the speedo up, so change the gear to one with less teeth. There is a number on the end of the gear (19, 20, 21 eg). I would go for a 2 tooth change and see how it goes.

If you changed the transducer from the auto to the manual your speedo should read the same...but if thats not the case then probably do as smally351 suggested.
