ok, from 90-95 T5's used an 8-tooth drive gear...The correct speedo gear for an 8-tooth with 3.27's is a 21-tooth speedo gear...Since you are getting 3.73's you'll need a 23tooth gear to be close to being calibrated...The only problem is that the 23tooth gear lasts about a month before all the teeth brake...
I used to go through 23 tooth gears all the time...Then I blew my T5 and replaced the 8-tooth with a 7-tooth drive gear, so I could run a 20-tooth speedo gear for my 3.55's.... ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
