W58 manual speedo drive options

Postby ke25sr » Tue Jun 30, 2009 3:07 pm

My speed is up the shit reads a lot faster than what i am actually doing.

its different than the other drives i have, its a lot bigger in diameter.
Teeth read 10 & 30. I am sure i want it to spin slower. is there a range of drives?

yes theres a range of drives. what gearbox is this for?
have you tried working out what ratio you require? accounting for tyre size, speedo gauge ratio etc

Its a W58 box from a 1995 JZA80, Has a larger speedo drive hole in it than my other W5* boxes have had.

Written on it Is 10 30 and it reads to fast so i am sure i need it to us a larger gear on the speedo drive.
