Is it the speedo gear?
Hey Guys,
i posted a long time ago about a bouncing speedo needle problem. you all offered several suggestions - thank you - unfortunately, nothing i tried fixed the problem. it still bounces from zero and tapers to steady by 42mph. a couple months ago i discovered my speedometer is off. it's a new OEM speedo, but most likely the original one i replaced was off too, since my tires are larger than the original diameter tires. but my question is this, should the speed be off a consistent number of MPH's, regardless of speed, or does the difference increase with speed? i checked mine out and here's what i discovered: (left side number is actual MPH, right side number is my speedo reading) 30mph - 30mph 35mph - 37mph 40mph - 43mph 45mph - 49mph 50mph - 55mph 55mph - 62mph 60mph - 67mph 65mph - 73mph if that doesn't sound right, what else should i be looking for? if that seems reasonable, how do i decide what number of teeth in the gear i need to buy? i know each added tooth adds an mph or two, etc. but do i 'gear' it for what speed i drive most often (ie. highway)? Please help! P.S. it has a TH350, if that matters. Last edited by 68 ReNay; 05-03-2011 at 11:07 PM. |
