[Vwdiesel] Speedo drive gear

I read on line somewhere that the ACH had a red gear.  I specifically ordered a red drive gear when I put the ACH in my car.  I need to go back and find this again.  Hayden

>> OK, I finally have a working speedometer in my Jetta again.  Now, I would really like to fine tune the speedo as it is just a bit off according to the GPS.  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

"God is not a diviner being or a magician, but the creator who brought everything to life. Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of things that evolve.” Pope Pius XII
“There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.” 
“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."
“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
