Speedometer Gear

After adding 4.88 gears and 35" tires to a 78 CJ-7, the speedometer is
way out of whack. I can find tons of places on the net telling me to
change out the speedometer gear, but I have not been able to find a
place to buy the actual gear. Does anyone know a place that sells
replacement spedometer gears for Dana 20 transfer cases? Any help
would be appreciated.


Barry,

I got one for a CJ Dana 300 and a TJ at the local Jeep dealer... about $23
each.

Hi Barry,
I would be pleasantly surprised if your Stealership stocks the Dana
gear, but it should be the same as the 300. In my trucking days, I had
to go many times to a speedometer shop, there should be one listed in
your yellow pages, like: http://www.sdspeedo.com/ The stuff's not listed
at the site, but I can tell any shop will have everything like inline
reduction gears, as we must pass inspection, and are held to a higher
standard than just your car's accuracy. Or were before the bleeding
heart liberal, open the boarder to Mexican drivers. I hope we won't have
to go through many more fatals, before they are squared away.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
