Speaking of speedo gears... I have a close-ratio toploader mated to a 3.31 Jag rear and was told that the 19-tooth speedo gear was closest to what I needed. (Apparently, there is no speedo gear made with exactly the number of teeth I need.) So this is what I use.
Because of the tooth-count discrepency, the speedometer reads much lower than actual speed (sometimes as much as 15 to 20 MPH lower from what I can tell). Do any of you guys know of a tooth count that would at least get the indicated speed closer to the actual speed? Does anyone else have this delimma?
Also, should I have slathered the gear with white lithium grease or something similar when I installed it? I didn't use any lube because I figured the gear would get plenty from the transmission itself.
