Speedo's outta whack

Alrighty, well I got my gears lets say...in October? and well I had the car in the garage for the winter so I never got a chance to get the speedo fixed. With the 3.73's on there the speedometer said I was at like 40 when i was only at 25. What do I need to buy to get this fixed? thanx

Oh yeah, is there anythign else besides the gears that would throw off my speedo?

All you need is the little speedometer gear. Just give your friendly neighbourhood ford dealership a call and they should be able to guesstimate which one you need. its only a couple dollar part. Otherwise you have to take it to a shop which has a chassis dyno and get it calibrated, then it will be perfect and they can run it on the dyno at the same time. But for a budget just find the gear. When you phone you will most likely need tire size, gear ratio,and type of tranny.
