If so dude, It's a snap. Seriously should not take you more than 10 mintues to change. Like he said, it's one bolt. Look for the speedo cable going into the tailshaft. Pull that bolt. Slide the whole cable out and you will see the gear in the end. Pull the c-clip out that's holding it in with a small screw driver, pull the gear straight off, slide the new one on, put c-clip back in, and slid the cable back in the tranny. Tighten that bolt back down and your speedo will be damn near correct, that is assuming tire and rim size are stock.<br /><br />Jack <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
