[Vwdiesel] Speedometer Cable Gear Question

[Chuck Carnohan]

Hey guys!  I finally got my '84 Rabbit 2-dr up and running with the
"green-striper" engine running nicely.  My problem now is the
speedometer.  I put a gauge cluster in it that has a speedo going to 160
mph (yeah right).  Anyway, the cluster works beautifully but the speed
and odometer is so far off that it can't be ignored.  I am accustomed to
the 10 mph/mile discrepancy that seems to be the norm with Rabbit D's.
However, with this cluster the speed and odometer are reading WAY high-
something like 60 mph when 30 mph is the actual speed.  It is of course
racking up the miles in an overboard fashion.  I recall some discussion
about the gear that goes into the tranny identified by color.  I'm
runnin an '84 Rabbit D tall gear 4spd and a 1.6NA engine.  Do any of you
know where I can get the right little cable gear and which color it
should be?

Chuck
