Speed Calibration!
Good day guys,
I got 4.10 gears installed in my 00 GT. The speed odometer is not reading the actual speed. I know SpeedCal is the needed thing in here, but I'm just too busy with school and work. I talked to some people and it seems like I need an expert to talk to. Can any one help me with tips about this part (function, price, installation, etc..). Your help is appreciated. I Mak |

Speed Calibration!
There should be a speedometer calibration shop in your area. Probably used
by the local police too. I was told last time I had an issue with calibration is to drive a measured 10 mile distance then note what your speedo reads, using the difference they can put in the needed pieces parts to make it read accurately.

Speed Calibration!
correct I meant to say odometer. The reason for the 10 measured miles is to
get closer to cut down on the error since most odometers read only in 1/10 of a mile. If you really want better do it over a longer distance.

Speed Calibration!
In my case, I changed the tire size from 14" to 16", and now, the
speedometer reads about 50 when I'm flowing with city traffic in a 35mph zone. Anyway, when the cable was pulled to put in a new gear, it broke off in the tranny. Waiting on the new cable now. Then I have to go through it all again. The rear gear "seems" to be 3.80 or 3.89. One place where GM had a better idea... cable goes from the tranny into a box of gears then out to the speedo. Lots of possible gear combinations in that box.
