NP 205 speedo gears
Well, I recently figured out why it seemed everyone was going so slow
right after installing the T-34 tranny. At the same time, I swapped
the speedo to come from the transfer case. This was the last task
on the 4x4 conversion. The T-34 just had a plug where the gear would be,
because it came from a 4X4. So now I find the speedo reads on the order of
12% lower than actual speed. So, I figure I need a smaller driven gear.
Can I go to Ford Dodge or Chevy and tell them I have an appropriate year
brand 'X'
and I need a different gear for my transfer case, since all of these makes
came with NP205 units at one time, maybe? Are the speedo
gears in all NP205 transfer cases the same?
I know I could get a precision gearbox, and I will do that if this solution
doesn't
pan out. Just changing the gear is easier and cheaper, and it will make
the
speedo accurate enough for me, if I can get the right gear.
