Hi,

I have recently purchased a 95 Cobra, that has an over-reading Speedo to the tune of approx 13%.

I think this is now down to the fact that the vehicle has 3.73 gears, and it should have been built with 3.27 gears.

According to the Speedometer Gear selector chart, I suspect I cannot go any higher on the Drive and Driven gears (8T and 21T).

Question :

Has anyone had any experience with any conversion boxes ?
Does anyone know a good Transmission shop in the Bay Area ?

Thanks

Mark

Hey thanks.

I'll stop by later this week. I am also considering te Dallas Mustang Speedcal, as it is an electronic variable calibration unit. That way
I can re-tune the odometer reading by running it to under-read for a while.
