Car Forum / MINI / January 2006Speedometer Drive Gears
I swapped my gearbox but kept used the drive gears from the old box as I didn't know what the box was from and thought that the gears would be matched to the speedo. The speedo is under reading by quite an amount e.g 25 mph on the speedo is 30mph. Does the speedometer drive gear match the gearbox or the head unit or combination of gearbox, diff and head unit? Can they be swapped without taking the engine out again? Peter www.wannop.co.uk See the following article: http://www.minispares.com/Article.aspx?aid=304 > See the following article: > > http://www.minispares.com/Article.aspx?aid=304 Although I don't know that final drive ratio is fitted if I'm reading the info correctly I should have kept the Speedo drive gears that were in the gear box I 've fitted. So I have to work out a way of getting to it to swap it out with the engine in place.

I think that it is possible but it would probably be a nice job if you could lift the engine a bit and remove the rad if you have one fitted on the side. miniman |
