AFAIK that was a 3.89 vs 4.11 gear box.

The Guru's would know.
You could ask Chris Semple at Force5 auto in Concord NH.

In both  of them the speedos failed in fairly short order. I came up with  another cluster (from a non-lister) and sent it off to North  Hollywood Speedometer to be gone over.Today NHS touched base with me, and it seems that below the tripmeter  reset knob there's the text W=1580. They need to know the  corresponding text in my OEM speedometer so they can swap out the  gears if necessary to make the one I sent them read correctly.  Unfortunately I no longer have the OEM speedo. The speedo I have in  there now seemed to be accurate until it failed, and it says W=1650,  but I don't want to give NHS the go-ahead just on the basis of that.Anyone out there with a 4kq--what does it say on your speedo? Thanks.
