Speedometer gear for ACN transmission?
I just swapped out a 4 speed trans (I don't know the code, have to check) for a 5 speed ACN. According to a chart I have, the 5 speed is from a 1.8 gas set-up. My 1980 diesel truck has a white speedometer gear (which popped off during the swap) and I'm trying to figure out what color I should get (red, green, another white) to get reasonably accurate speed. Although I use the speedometer more to track mileage as my fuel gas reads high which has gotten me into trouble. Appreciate any help.

1983 Jetta 5 spd

Re: Speedometer gear for ACN transmission?
Broke's page says you need the red speedo gear (unless you have tiny tires)
I need a white gear (lost mine doing a swap, doh), so holla if you want a couple of bux for yours, or want something to swap for it.

66 : 18 = 3.667 (15T) red
74 : 19 = 3.894 (16T) white
63 : 16 = 3.938 (16T) white
67 : 17 = 3.941 (16T) white
68 : 16 = 4.250 (17T) green
