try changing your speedo gear on your transmission.

if it's the speedo and the odometer it's more than likely the speedo gear.
it's a cheap fix though. Which is good.

Re: speedo
Just joshin' man! Easiest fix is the gear on the transmission (if that's the case) and if not, follow the cable from that gear up to the firewall. When I said my cabled was "busted" I meant it - the actual cable split through the rubber. If you find something like that or a bad kink, that's the problem. Only other problem could be in the cluster. . . but I don't even want to think about that. |

yeah, or it could be the drive gear in the transmission, like in my case.
Then all you have to do is pull the transmission and take the tailshaft off...piece of cake!
