One would think more teeth on the driven gear would make it turn slower.

It measures about 4 mph fast and the odometer is high by about .16 miles.  So…..I currently have the red speedo drive gear  in my ACH transmission because that is “the one you are supposed to use”.  Would changing to the white drive gear speed up my measurement or slow it down?  Obviously I need to slow the thing down a bit.   So what say the gurus?  Hayden
