The speedometer reading is adjustable via the various drive gears fitted at the transmission. Depending on which final gear ratio (differential gears) are fitted, the speedometer gears are changed to keep the speedometer accurate.

Overview

Stock 1200 Speedometer gear ratio:

pinion teeth/worm teeth on trans output shaft
* 17/5 (3.90 diff)
* 18/5 (4.11 diff) for Wagon or Ute 

Left: Pinion, Right: pinion assembled into Sleeve

To adjust the speedometer for different diameter tires, change the transmission cable pinion cog.

* If speedo reads too fast, fit a bigger cog
* If speedo reads too slow, fit a smaller cog

Given that stock is a 17 tooth pinion, moving to one more or less tooth is about 6% change. So by changing the pinion you can only get it to ±3 mph accurate. For example, at 100 mph, within 3 mph. Or at the standard 50 mph rating, a reading between 1½ mph (48½ to 51½) is the best you can hope for. For finer tuning the speedometer itself needs calibration. Or you could fit different diameter rear tires.

EXAMPLE: If you are reading say 60 when you are really going 50 then the speedo cable needs to slow down by about 20% to read more accurately. If the speedo drive has a 17 tooth cog in it try to find a cog that reduces by 20%. 17 X .20 = 3.4 teeth... 17 + 3.4 = 20.4 teeth, the closest is a 20 tooth cog.

Teeth	% change	50 mph reading
16	106.25%	53.1
17	100.00%	50.0
18	94.44%	47.2
19	89.47%	44.7

Correction Table, increase Teeth by:

Actual mph	Desired mph	Tooth
40	50	3+
43	50	2+
47	50	1+
50	50	0+

Part Numbers

Also see: Transmission Case Part Numbers

NOTE: while they are color-coded, order by part number, not by color. For example, 63-series and 56-series cogs (pinion gears) use different color coding.

They are easy to replace by removing the roll pin...use your original Cog Body (Sleeve).

Pinion or Assembly

Each drive gear (on the output shaft of the transmission) works with a variety of different pinion gears.

For the A-series gearboxes, there is only one size of drive gear, which works with 16-19 teeth pinions. The sleeves are all the same, so all you need is the gear (not the assembly).

Different transmission have different methods:

* Jeep - offset holder is rotated to various positions for each gear
* GM TH350 - two drive gears, each works with a range of driven gears
* Nissan 720: all have 6T drive gear
* Nissan 56-series, 60: driven gear is machined on the shaft
* Nissan 4W63, 71B, 71: replaceable gear
