What speedo drive/driven gears do i need ( colors)?

[OrangeMustangGt]

I got some 3:73'z and my speedo is off, i am planning on getting some 17's 03' r's, but anyhow, with my gears, and future tires, what driven/ drive speedo gears do i need? im doing a clutch so i figure why not just do it now?

I believe it's a red 26 tooth speedo gear. Go to www.steeda.com in the drivetrain section. They have them all listed.

Vib, you said in your first post its a red 26 tooth gear, for the 3.73's it says white 23 tooth

Well my gears went on in 1994 so it's been 10+ years.

I just wanted to make sure the 23 tooth was the right one before I get mine... Thats what I heard but saw you said 26 tooth at first.

Unless you want to change two gears, one of which is inside the tranny, then get a white 23 tooth drive gear. It will get you within 5%.

The red 26 tooth may be for when you change the driven gear as well, but I don't know. All I know is that I did the 23 tooth one and it's on and I'm happy with it for $15 and 5 minutes. Hope this helps.

When changing the gears to anything past 3:55s like 3:73s or 4:10s you need the 23 tooth , but dont you also have to change the transmission drive gear also to be exact?
