Having problems finding right speedo gear

I just swapped to 3.73 from 2.73 gears. The place that did the work put a black 20t speedo gear into the T45 transmission. At 60mph my speedo was saying I was doing 71-73mph. I swapped out the 20t for a red 21t speedo gear and now at 60mph its says I am doing closer to 65mph. Has any one else had this issue at all? I am not sure what is offered past 21t but it appears to me that I may need a 22t gear. The speedometer was pretty damn close to being right on before the gear swap.

Any ideas?

What size tires? You should be closer then 5mph with that gear, should only be off 1-2 MPH.

What you can try is changing the drive gear from a 7 tooth to a 6 tooth and then putting the 20 tooth driven gear in it. The part number for the 6t drive gear is E3ZZ-B.

Also what are you using to check the speed against? A GPS unit or someone elses car?
