Where did you purchase your Tremec? They should have told you that Tremecs have a different speedo drive gear. I think the Tremec's are 7 tooth instead of 6 in the T-5's. D&D set me up with a 20 tooth (black) speedo gear for my Tremec when I got mine last year - I called them to tell them they sent me the wrong gear (I had a 21 tooth in my T-5 w/3.55s before), and that's when they informed me that the Tremecs have a different drive gear.

Good to hear you got it figured out.
