To everyone that posted on this thread Thank you for your advice, I now have a passing gear again.

Thanks for your input, I just ordered a 44 tooth gear that should be sufficient. If it is too much then I’ll have to get the 43 tooth.

So I did some testing today and it doesn’t seem like the speedometer is wrong. Using a Photo Cell RPM meter and an old sears 1000rpm drill that actually runs at 1060 rpm (+10%) tested with the rpm meter. I disconnected the Speedo cable from the transmission and hooked into the drill and ran it...

Thank you everyone,

Thanks I will be adjusting it this weekend. Is there any way I can hold the KD Lever on the trans to the engage position so I can get up from the floor and adjust the vertical rod, knowing that it is fully engaged. I am alone as a one person working on this, I am wondering if it takes 2 people...

Thanks , that’s what my concern was, the back and forth slop on the shaft. That slop takes up some of the vertical movement of the shaft #10 that I need to adjust. I will be under the car this weekend to make sure the KD Lever is turned out to the stop when I adjust the vertical rod.

While adjusting the kick down linkage I noticed something that has me concerned if it is normal or not. While moving the vertical rod #10 (red arrow) up or down I am looking down at the pivot point (red circle) and I notice the there is a movement of at least 1/4” back and forth sliding on the...

I hear you, I will know more this Thursday when I get a chance to take the car out again.

Thanks I will check that out.

Never heard that before, strange

I got a ticket for 43 in a 40 once so I need it to be a little more accurate. Unfortunately living where I live I would need a clipboard and a sheet of paper with different rpm/mph on it for all the different speeds.

215/70x14 = Tires are 25.9” so I calculated 26 inches

Great idea, this could rule out the Cable if it is bad or not. But on the other hand, if the end was rounded and slipping then the speed on the dash would be slower and not faster than the Radar posted speed wouldn’t it?

Thanks, that’s one thing that I never thought of.

I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out what is wrong and I just can’t. I purchased a 69 Swinger 340 auto trans a while ago with many small issues that needed to be addressed. One of the issues is the speedometer is way off, 12-13 mph off. I know the gears have been changed but I don’t...
