Default Correct Speedo Cog help

ok guys i bet your all sick of my problem posts but i promise this will be the last for a while,


With my manual conversion my speedo is incorrect, i bought 2 differet speedo cogs and am wondering if anyone could tell me wich one i need.

I have a 3:4:5 Diff, with a T5 that came from a XH ute and am running 235 45 R 17 rims.


the one in there at the moment shows 110 when im doing 100. it is a 20 cog brown one

I was told i need more teeth to show less on the speedo,

which one do i need,

the green one -21teeth
the grey one - 22 teeth.

Help is much appreciated.

Cheers

your speedo is 10% out so change your speedo transducer by 10%. Try the grey 22teeth.

Yeah I'd agree with that

the difference is closer to 10% than 5%
20 + 5% = 21
20 + 10% = 22
so go with the 22 first

Or try both, it's no big deal to change it

yep the grey one is the go that will be closest to what you want. it will actually make the speedo read 9% slower. 20 / 22 = .909 so thats 9.1% slower.

Dont want to sound smart mate, but use the one that was in your auto. Thats if you haven't changed the ratio of the diff. 5 minute job.
