I just hooked up my digital guages in my 65 and am working on the speedo now. I need a driven gear(at the end of the speedo cable) for my 89 T-5 tranny does anyone know the color, # of teeth or part # for their gear? The guys at the Ford parts counter acted like they had no idea even after I explained to them that my gear and tire size doesn't matter, since my speedo is adjustable. I said, "Can't you just find me any T-5 gear?" He said, "I need to know the year, tire size and gearing." I just muttered something about finding out the exact one i needed. Don't all T-5's use the same type of gear with different teeth counts? ------------------ 65 Mustang: 5 speed, 3.73's, RAP Ported GT-40 Irons, xe258hr cam, Perf. RPM, 625 cfm Carter AFB, Jacobs ignition 66 Mustang: 289-2V, 3spd, Slipping Clutch, Bashed-up Front End

What kind of digital gages are you using? Alot of the digital speedos only require electronic calibration so you can run any gear combination. At least thats what Dakota Digital has. Mike
