Speedo Gears for 3.73??

89GTimporteater · 04-01-2003, 03:11 PM

Well, my 3.73 31 spline 9" rear end is awesome. Pushing 2nd and 3rd from 1500RPM's leaves nice dual black marks. The problem is my speedo gears. Does anyone know the color code/teeth combination for 3.73's??? I hate doing 80 and reading 105.

just tell the dealer its for 3.73 and they will know the correct one.

I believe that the BBK web site has a chart and the options available. [URL=www.brothersperformance.com]

I remember that chart when I changed my speedo gear for the 3.55 rear end I installed. I remember that the gear was white in color and had 23 teeth I believe. This chart showed the same gear for the 3.55 and 3.73 rear end. I had to go to a speed shop to get the gear since the dealer doesn't carry the 23 tooth speedo gear. I think to get the correct speed reading with anything shorter than a 3.55 required the internal speedo gear in the tranny to be changed as well.

I put the white gear in mine after my 3.73 swap as recommended and my speedo is 7 mph fast. It says 75 and Im really doing 68.
