Chapter 2: Transmissions: Speedometer Gears


The speedometer cable in a G body is driven by a set of gears in the transmission. A drive gear is connected to the transmission output shaft and turns at the same speed as the driveshaft. A driven gear is installed on the transmission end of the cable and meshes with the drive gear. The gears are choosen to provide a ratio that will rotate the speedometer cable 1000 times per mile. Additionally, a ratio adaptor may be used if a close match can not be made with available gear combinations.
