Description
Swapping to a 5-speed manual throws your factory speedometer off because the transmission's final drive ratio no longer matches your original speedo gear calibration. This 22-tooth driven gear lets you dial in speedometer accuracy by matching the gear ratio to your specific rear axle ratio and tire diameter combination.
For a cable-driven speedometer to read correctly, four variables must align: drive gear tooth count, driven gear tooth count, tire diameter, and rear axle ratio. The driven gear sits in a removable housing in the tailhousing and meshes with the drive gear on the output shaft. By selecting the correct tooth count, you adjust how fast the speedometer cable spins relative to vehicle speed. The grey color coding follows the industry-standard color system, making identification instant when you pull the gear housing.
This driven gear fits GM T5 transmissions and is commonly used in Camaro and S-10 five-speed applications. It also fits many other GM manual and automatic transmissions using this style of speedometer drive. Installation is straightforward: disconnect the speedometer cable, remove the retaining clip, swap the driven gear, and reassemble.
[VERIFY: Marketing copy states this gear fits Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, and TKOs, but product specs indicate GM T5 fitment. Clarify which applications are correct before publishing.]
