Default gears 4.56

hello guys in s2ki,

i have an issue and i thought you might help. i installed rick`s gears to my s2k for three months. it changed the final drive ratio from 4.10 to 4.56, so the speedometer reading`s arent accurate now and show faster speeds than actual. i know that the difference is 11%

but my question is: does also the odo meter gets inaccurate too? or not. does the odo record more miles than the actual milage by 11% too? if so thats a big problem! LOL

thank u for reading, please reply and tell me what do u think

yes, the odometer is affected. I believe the speedo and odometer run off the same signal.

It is 32 : 7 = 4,5714285714285714285714285714286
Or 4.57

You need a Yellow Jacket or Yellow Box to correct your speedo / odo.
Both are available online.
How do you like your 4.57r's?

the gears are simply ammazing, thanks for the correction. lol
the car feels torqier in daily driving. and i think that the car is still capable of more than a 1/4mile good runs. at most 600meters and after that the acceleration wont be strong. starting off the line is significantly better

my mods include: j`s racing old 63mm cat back, t1r test pipe, j`s racing headers, aem cai, all flowing well with the gears. mid range is well improved with the headers.

Yes, it does add more miles on the ODO much quicker. I have the 4.77's and it pained me to see my mileage rack up so quickly, until I installed a Yellow Jacket that is

what's stopping people from over-correcting the speedo / odo and therefore make the mileage move slower? like, half the speed?
